In the state of nature, wrong-doing is impossible ; or, if anyone does wrong, it is to himself, not to another.

Benedikt Spinoza 262 quotes

Philosophers conceive of the p...

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.

Superstition, then, is engendered, preserved, and fostered by fear.

Benedikt Spinoza 262 quotes

The eternal wisdom of God ... ...

The eternal wisdom of God ... has shown itself forth in all things, but chiefly in the mind of man, and most of all in Jesus Christ.

Benedikt Spinoza 262 quotes

The more a government strives ...

The more a government strives to curtail freedom of speech, the more obstinately is it resisted ; not indeed by the avaricious, ... but by those whom good education, sound morality, and
virtue have rendered more free.

Benedikt Spinoza 262 quotes

In the state of nature, wrong-...

In the state of nature, wrong-doing is impossible; or, if anyone does wrong, it is to himself, not to another. For no one by the law of nature is bound to please another, unless he chooses, nor to hold anything to be good or evil, but what he himself, according to his own temperament, pronounces to be so; and, to speak generally, nothing is forbidden by the law of nature, except what is beyond everyone's power.

Benedikt Spinoza 262 quotes

We strive to further the occurrence of whatever we imagine will lead to Joy, and to avert or destroy what we imagine is contrary to it, or will lead to Sadness.

Benedikt Spinoza 262 quotes

Laws directed against opinions...

Laws directed against opinions affect the generous-minded rather than the wicked, and are adapted less for coercing criminals than for irritating the upright.

Benedikt Spinoza 262 quotes

God and all attributes of God ...

God and all attributes of God are eternal.

Benedikt Spinoza 262 quotes

The real disturbers of the peace are those who, in a free state, seek to curtail the liberty of judgment which they are unable to tyrannize over.

No to laugh, not to lament, not to detest, but to understand.

There is no fear without some hope, and no hope without some fear.

The multitude always strains after rarities and exceptions, and thinks little of the gifts of nature; so that, when prophecy is talked of, ordinary knowledge is not supposed to be included. Nevertheless it has as much right as any other to be called Divine.

Everything in nature is a cause from which there flows some effect.

To understand something is to be delivered of it.

Whatsoever is, is in God.

Benedikt Spinoza 262 quotes

Happiness is not the reward of...

Happiness is not the reward of virtue, but is virtue itself; nor do we delight in happiness because we restrain from our lusts; but on the contrary, because we delight in it, therefore we are able to restrain them.

Will and intellect are one and the same thing.
