More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Measure, time and number are nothing but modes of thought or rather of imagination.
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
Be not astonished at new ideas for it is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many.
Baruch Spinoza
Those who know the true use of money, and regulate the measure of wealth according to their needs, live contented with few things.
Baruch Spinoza
The greatest good is the knowledge of the union which the mind has with the whole nature.
Baruch Spinoza
I make this chief distinction between religion and superstition, that the latter is founded on ignorance, the former on knowledge.
Baruch Spinoza

Baruch Spinoza
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
Baruch Spinoza
Faith is nothing but obedience and piety.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire nothing for yourself, which you do not desire for others.
Baruch Spinoza
Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.
Baruch Spinoza
All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.
Baruch Spinoza
Laws which can be broken without any wrong to one's neighbor are a laughing-stock and such laws, instead of restraining the appetites and lusts of mankind, serve rather to heighten them. Nitimur in vetitum semper, cupimusque negata [we always resist prohibitions, and yearn for what is denied us].
Baruch Spinoza
We are so constituted by Nature that we easily believe the things we hope for, but believe only with difficulty those we fear, and that we regard such things more or less highly than is just. This is the source of the superstitions by which men everywhere are troubled. For the rest, I don
