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.
Baruch Spinoza
God is the indwelling and not the transient cause of all things.
Baruch Spinoza
I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature
either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our
imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or
confused.
Baruch Spinoza
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
There is no hope unmingled with fear, and no fear unmingled with hope.
Baruch Spinoza
The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.
Baruch Spinoza
