Baruch Spinoza
Image
I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Men who are ruled by reason desire nothing for themselves which they would not wish for all mankind.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Yet nature cannot be contravened, but preserves a fixed and immutable order.
Baruch Spinoza

Reality and perfection are synonymous.
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

I do not presume that I have found the best philosophy, I know that I understand the true philosophy.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The virtue of a free man appears equally great in refusing to face difficulties as in overcoming them.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
