More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
In the mind there is no absolute or free will but the mind is determined to wish this or that by a cause, which has also been determined by another cause, and this last by another cause, and so on to infinity.
Baruch Spinoza
Nature offers nothing that can be called this man's rather than another's but under nature everything belongs to all.
Baruch Spinoza
If we love something similar to ourselves, we endeavor, as far as we can, to bring it about that it should love us in return.
Baruch Spinoza
The most tyrannical of governments are those which make crimes of opinions, for everyone has an inalienable right to his thoughts.
Baruch Spinoza
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
Baruch Spinoza
Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.
Baruch Spinoza
Freedom is absolutely necessary for the progress in science and the liberal arts.
Baruch Spinoza
Better that right counsels be known to enemies than that the evil secrets of tyrants should be concealed from the citizens. They who can treat secretly of the affairs of a nation have it absolutely under their authority and as they plot against the enemy in time of war, so do they against the citizens in time of peace.
Baruch Spinoza
For peace is not mere absence of war, but is a virtue that springs from force of character: for obedience is the constant will to execute what, by the general decree of the commonwealth, ought to be done.
Baruch Spinoza
The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
Baruch Spinoza
He who regulates everything by laws, is more likely to arouse vices than reform them.
Baruch Spinoza
Hatred which is completely vanquished by love passes into love: and love is thereupon greater than if hatred had not preceded it.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire nothing for yourself, which you do not desire for others.
Baruch Spinoza
Reason connot defeat emotion, an emotion can only be displaced or overcome by a stronger emotion.
Baruch Spinoza
Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words.
Baruch Spinoza
Measure, time and number are nothing but modes of thought or rather of imagination.
Baruch Spinoza
self-preservation is the primary and only foundation of virtue.
Baruch Spinoza
I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
Baruch Spinoza
God is a thing that thinks.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire is the very essence of man
Baruch Spinoza
