More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
There is no fear without some hope, and no hope without some fear.
Baruch Spinoza
Reality and perfection are synonymous.
Baruch Spinoza
I should attempt to treat human vice and folly geometrically... the passions of hatred, anger, envy, and so on, considered in themselves, follow from the necessity and efficacy of nature... I shall, therefore, treat the nature and strength of the emotion in exactly the same manner, as though I were concerned with lines, planes, and solids.
Baruch Spinoza
Men who are ruled by reason desire nothing for themselves which they would not wish for all mankind.
Baruch Spinoza
Men are especially intolerant of serving and being ruled by, their equals.
Baruch Spinoza
The supreme mystery of despotism, its prop and stay, is to keep men in a state of deception, and with the specious title of religion to cloak the fear by which they must be held in check, so that they will fight for their servitude as if for salvation.
Baruch Spinoza
self-preservation is the primary and only foundation of virtue.
Baruch Spinoza
Whatsoever is, is in God.
Baruch Spinoza
Nothing in nature is by chance... Something appears to be chance only because of our lack of knowledge.
Baruch Spinoza
Many errors, of a truth, consist merely in the application of the wrong names of things.
Baruch Spinoza
I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.
Baruch Spinoza
If we conceive that anyone loves, desires, or hates anything which we ourselves love, desire, or hate, we shall thereupon regard the thing in question with more steadfast love, etc. On the contrary, if we think that anyone shrinks from something that we love, we shall undergo vacillation of the soul.
Baruch Spinoza
The virtue of a free man appears equally great in refusing to face difficulties as in overcoming them.
Baruch Spinoza
Reason connot defeat emotion, an emotion can only be displaced or overcome by a stronger emotion.
Baruch Spinoza
He who hates anyone will endeavor to do him an injury, unless he fears that a greater injury will thereby accrue to himself on the other hand, he who loves anyone will, by the same law, seek to benefit him.
Baruch Spinoza
Whatever increases, decreases, limits or extends the body's power of action, increases decreases, limits, or extends the mind's power of action. And whatever increases, decreases, limits, or extends the mind's power of action, also increases, decreases, limits, or extends the body's power of action.
Baruch Spinoza
Will and intellect are one and the same thing.
Baruch Spinoza
Laws which prescribe what everyone must believe, and forbid men to say or write anything against this or that opinion, are often passed to gratify, or rather to appease the anger of those who cannot abide independent minds.
Baruch Spinoza
I can control my passions and emotions if I can understand their nature
Baruch Spinoza
He who seeks equality between unequals seeks an absurdity.
Baruch Spinoza
