More quotes by Baruch Spinoza
Except God no substance can be granted or conceived. .. Everything, I say, is in God, and all things which are made, are made by the laws of the infinite nature of God, and necessarily follows from the necessity of his essence.
Baruch Spinoza
The idea, which constitutes the actual being of the human mind, is not simple, but compounded of a great number of ideas.
Baruch Spinoza
Yet nature cannot be contravened, but preserves a fixed and immutable order.
Baruch Spinoza
To comprehend an idea, a person must simultaneously accept it as true. Conscious analysis - which, depending on the idea, may occur almost immediately or with considerable effort - allows the mind to reject what it intially accepted as fact.
Baruch Spinoza
For peace is not mere absence of war, but is a virtue that springs from force of character: for obedience is the constant will to execute what, by the general decree of the commonwealth, ought to be done.
Baruch Spinoza
Things could not have been brought into being by God in any manner or in any order different from that which has in fact obtained.
Baruch Spinoza
Desire nothing for yourself, which you do not desire for others.
Baruch Spinoza
Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.
Baruch Spinoza
Faith is nothing but obedience and piety.
Baruch Spinoza
The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.
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
Things which are accidentally the causes either of hope or fear are called good or evil omens.
Baruch Spinoza
He who regulates everything by laws, is more likely to arouse vices than reform them.
Baruch Spinoza
A man is as much affected pleasurably or painfully by the image of a thing past or future as by the image of a thing present.
Baruch Spinoza
Philosophers conceive of the passions which harass us as vices into which men fall by their own fault, and, therefore, generally deride, bewail, or blame them, or execrate them, if they wish to seem unusually pious.
Baruch Spinoza
The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
Baruch Spinoza
The highest endeavor of the mind, and the highest virtue, it to understand things by intuition.
Baruch Spinoza
No matter how thin you slice it, there will always be two sides.
Baruch Spinoza
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
He who hates anyone will endeavor to do him an injury, unless he fears that a greater injury will thereby accrue to himself on the other hand, he who loves anyone will, by the same law, seek to benefit him.
