More quotes by Baruch Spinoza

Image
Of all the things that are beyond my power, I value nothing more highly than to be allowed the honor of entering into bonds of friendship with people who sincerely love truth. For, of things beyond our power, I believe there is nothing in the world which we can love with tranquility except such men.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Many errors, of a truth, consist merely in the application of the wrong names of things. For if a man says that the lines which are drawn from the centre of the circle to the circumference are not equal, he understands by the circle, at all events for the time, something else than mathematicians understand by it.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Self-complacency is pleasure accompanied by the idea of oneself as cause.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The eternal wisdom of God ... has shown itself forth in all things, but chiefly in the mind of man, and most of all in Jesus Christ.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Love is nothing but joy accompanied with the idea of an eternal cause.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
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
It is sure that those are most desirous of honour or glory who cry out loudest of its abuse and the vanity of the world.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
I call him free who is led solely by reason.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
True virtue is life under the direction of reason.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Pride is pleasure arising from a man's thinking too highly of himself.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
If a man had begun to hate an object of his love, so that love is thoroughly destroyed, he will, causes being equal, regard it with more hatred than if he had never loved it, and his hatred will be in proportion to the strength of his former love.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
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
Image
Yet nature cannot be contravened, but preserves a fixed and immutable order.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Indulge yourself in pleasures only in so far as they are necessary for the preservation of health.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Desire nothing for yourself, which you do not desire for others.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
It is usually the case with most men that their nature is so constituted that they pity those who fare badly and envy those who fare well.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
If anyone conceives that he is loved by another, and believes that he has given no cause for such love, he will love that other in return.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
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
Image
True piety for the universe but no time for religions made for man's convenience.
Baruch Spinoza
