More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
True knowledge of good and evil as we possess is merely abstract or general, and the judgment which we pass on the order of things and the connection of causes, with a view to determining what is good or bad for us in the present, is rather imaginary than real.
Baruch Spinoza
Indulge yourself in pleasures only in so far as they are necessary for the preservation of health.
Baruch Spinoza
The greatest pride, or the greatest despondency, is the greatest ignorance of one's self.
Baruch Spinoza
Hatred which is completely vanquished by love passes into love: and love is thereupon greater than if hatred had not preceded it.
Baruch Spinoza
The human mind cannot be absolutely destroyed along with the body, but something of it remains, which is eternal.
Baruch Spinoza
Freedom is self-determination.
Baruch Spinoza
I make this chief distinction between religion and superstition, that the latter is founded on ignorance, the former on knowledge.
Baruch Spinoza
Pride is pleasure arising from a man's thinking too highly of himself.
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
Baruch Spinoza
He who regulates everything by laws, is more likely to arouse vices than reform them.
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
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
The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
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
Men believe themselves to be free, simply because they are conscious of their actions, and unconscious of the causes whereby those actions are determined.
Baruch Spinoza
He who seeks equality between unequals seeks an absurdity.
Baruch Spinoza
Those who wish to seek out the cause of miracles and to understand the things of nature as philosophers, and not to stare at them in astonishment like fools, are soon considered heretical and impious, and proclaimed as such by those whom the mob adores as the interpreters of nature and the gods.
Baruch Spinoza
All the objects pursued by the multitude not only bring no remedy that tends to preserve our being, but even act as hinderances, causing the death not seldom of those who possess them, and always of those who are possessed by them.
Baruch Spinoza
Men are especially intolerant of serving and being ruled by, their equals.
Baruch Spinoza
Men govern nothing with more difficulty than their tongues, and can moderate their desires more than their words.
Baruch Spinoza
