Everyone should be free to choose the foundations of their own creed, with faith judged only by its fruits

Drawn from what Baruch Spinoza said

What Baruch Spinoza actually said

  1. Baruch Spinoza Dutch philosopher (1632 to 1677)
    Furthermore, as men's habits of mind differ, so that some more readily embrace one form of faith, some another, for what moves one to pray may move another only to scoff, I conclude, in accordance with what has gone before, that everyone should be free to choose for himself the foundations of his creed, and that faith should be judged only by its fruits; each would then obey God freely with his whole heart, while nothing would be publicly honoured save justice and charity.
