Desire is the very essence of man
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure....you are above everything distressing.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Things which are accidentally the causes either of hope or fear are called good or evil omens.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
He who lives according to the guidance of reason strives as much as possible to repay the hatred, anger, or contempt of others towards himself with love or generosity. ...hatred is increased by reciprocal hatred, and, on the other hand, can be extinguished by love, so that hatred passes into love.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
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
Image
God is a thing that thinks.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The more intelligible a thing is, the more easily it is retained in the memory, and counterwise, the less intelligible it is, the more easily we forget it.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
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
Image
Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Statesman are suspected of plotting against mankind, rather than consulting their interests, and are esteemed more crafty than learned.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
So long as a man imagines that he cannot do this or that, so long as he is determined not to do it and consequently so long as it is impossible to him that he should do it.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Will and intellect are one and the same thing.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Let unswerving integrity be your watchword.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The safest way for a state is to lay down the rule that religion is comprised solely in the exercise of charity and justice, and that the rights of rulers in sacred, no less than in secular matters, should merely have to do with actions, but that every man should think what he likes and say what he thinks.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Desire nothing for yourself, which you do not desire for others.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
. . . to know the order of nature, and regard the universe as orderly is the highest function of the mind.
Baruch Spinoza

No matter how thin you slice it, there will always be two sides.
