I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Nothing in nature is by chance... Something appears to be chance only because of our lack of knowledge.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
All happiness or unhappiness solely depends upon the quality of the object to which we are attached by love.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
As though God had turned away from the wise, and written his decrees, not in the mind of man but in the entrails of beasts, or left them to be proclaimed by the inspiration and instinct of fools, madmen, and birds. Such is the unreason to which terror can drive mankind!
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
Reason connot defeat emotion, an emotion can only be displaced or overcome by a stronger emotion.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
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
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
A free man, who lives among ignorant people, tries as much as he can to refuse their benefits. .. He who lives under the guidance of reason endeavours as much as possible to repay his fellow's hatred, rage, contempt, etc. with love and nobleness.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The idea, which constitutes the actual being of the human mind, is not simple, but compounded of a great number of ideas.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The greatest good is the knowledge of the union which the mind has with the whole nature.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
I call him free who is led solely by reason.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
...The body is affected by the image of the thing, in the same way as if the thing were actually present.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
I can control my passions and emotions if I can understand their nature
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Blessed are the weak who think that they are good because they have no claws.
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
The virtue of a free man appears equally great in refusing to face difficulties as in overcoming them.
