Baruch Spinoza

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of the peace.
NOT YET RATING
He alone is free who lives with free consent under the entire guidance of reason
NOT YET RATING
I should attempt to treat human vice and folly geometrically... the passions of hatred, anger, envy, and so on, considered in themselves, follow from the necessity and efficacy of nature... I shall, therefore, treat the nature and strength of the emotion in exactly the same manner, as though I were concerned with lines, planes, and solids.
From Ethics
NOT YET RATING
whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived
NOT YET RATING

aquele que quer responder às injúrias com o ódio vive na tristeza ou na mágoa, aquele que quer vencer o ódio com o amor combate alegremente e sem temor. Triunfa tanto sobre um grande número de inimigos quanto sobre um único, prescindindo de todo socorro da fortuna. Aqueles a quem ele consegue vencer ficam alegres por terem sido derrotados; e, derrotados, eles não são menos fortes; ao contrário, são mais fortes.

Minds, however, are conquered not by arms, but by love and nobility.

The good which every man, who follows after virtue, desires for himself he will also desire for other men...
