I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
No to laugh, not to lament, not to detest, but to understand.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Indulge yourself in pleasures only in so far as they are necessary for the preservation of health.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The virtue of a free man appears equally great in refusing to face difficulties as in overcoming them.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
The highest endeavor of the mind, and the highest virtue, it to understand things by intuition.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Laws which prescribe what everyone must believe, and forbid men to say or write anything against this or that opinion, are often passed to gratify, or rather to appease the anger of those who cannot abide independent minds.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
I shall consider human actions and desires in exactly the same manner, as though I were concerned with lines, planes and solids.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
We must take care not to admit as true anything, which is only probable. For when one falsity has been let in, infinite others follow.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Sin cannot be conceived in a natural state, but only in a civil state, where it is decreed by common consent what is good or bad.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Be not astonished at new ideas for it is well known to you that a thing does not therefore cease to be true because it is not accepted by many.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Ambition is the immoderate desire for honor.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Man can, indeed, act contrarily to the decrees of God, as far as they have been written like laws in the minds of ourselves or the prophets, but against that eternal decree of God, which is written in universal nature, and has regard to the course of nature as a whole, he can do nothing.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Desire nothing for yourself, which you do not desire for others.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
No one doubts but that we imagine time from the very fact that we imagine other bodies to be moved slower or faster or equally fast. We are accustomed to determine duration by the aid of some measure of motion.
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
There is no fear without some hope, and no hope without some fear.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
True virtue is life under the direction of reason.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Reason connot defeat emotion, an emotion can only be displaced or overcome by a stronger emotion.
Baruch Spinoza
Image
Fear cannot be without hope nor hope without fear. [They are the two sides of a coin, so learning how to manage fear through learning, understanding, rationality, controlled imagination, preparation, mental focus (including distraction) and a gratitude attitude is very helpful.]
