Quotes from Spinoza:
"The power of God is His essence itself."

"Whatever we conceive to be in God's power necessarily exists."

"I have now explained the nature of God and its properties. I have shown that He necessarily exists; that He is one God; that from the necessity alone of His own nature He is and acts; that He is, and in what way He is, the free cause of all things; that all things are in Him, and so depend upon Him that without Him they can neither be nor can be conceived; and, finally, that all things have been predetermined by Him, not indeed from freedom of will or from absolute good pleasure, but from His absolute nature or infinite power."

"...the human mind is a part of the infinite intellect of God..."

"...men are deceived because they think themselves free..."
