More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Freedom is self-determination.
Baruch Spinoza
Statesman are suspected of plotting against mankind, rather than consulting their interests, and are esteemed more crafty than learned.
Baruch Spinoza
He, who knows how to distinguish between true and false, must have an adequate idea of true and false.
Baruch Spinoza
Surely human affairs would be far happier if the power in men to be silent were the same as that to speak. But experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues.
Baruch Spinoza
I have resolved to demonstrate by a certain and undoubted course of argument, or to deduce from the very condition of human nature, not what is new and unheard of, but only such things as agree best with practice.
Baruch Spinoza
He who wishes to revenge injuries by reciprocal hatred will live in misery. But he who endeavors to drive away hatred by means of love, fights with pleasure and confidence he resists equally one or many men, and scarcely needs at all the help of fortune. Those whom he conquers yield joyfully
Baruch Spinoza
Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.
Baruch Spinoza
In proportion as we endeavor to live according to the guidance of reason, shall we strive as much as possible to depend less on hope, to liberate ourselves from fear, to rule fortune, and to direct our actions by the sure counsels of reason.
Baruch Spinoza
Things which are accidentally the causes either of hope or fear are called good or evil omens.
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
He who regulates everything by laws, is more likely to arouse vices than reform them.
Baruch Spinoza
Many errors, of a truth, consist merely in the application of the wrong names of things.
Baruch Spinoza
Reason connot defeat emotion, an emotion can only be displaced or overcome by a stronger emotion.
Baruch Spinoza
Measure, time and number are nothing but modes of thought or rather of imagination.
Baruch Spinoza
I call him free who is led solely by reason.
Baruch Spinoza
Will and intellect are one and the same thing.
Baruch Spinoza
Faith is nothing but obedience and piety.
Baruch Spinoza
Blessed are the weak who think that they are good because they have no claws.
Baruch Spinoza
Human infirmity in moderating and checking the emotions I name bondage : for, when a man is a prey to his emotions, he is not his own master, but lies at the mercy of fortune : so much so, that he is often compelled, while seeing that which is better for him, to follow that which is worse.
Baruch Spinoza
No to laugh, not to lament, not to detest, but to understand.
Baruch Spinoza
