Essays and Aphorisms is a good place. My favorites from there on "On thinking for yourself" and "On Religion". On "On Women" that the other anon suggested: it's an interesting piece, but I think it betrays far too readily his own personal biases against women, specifically his relationship with his mother. If he had further developed it, it would easily escape the meme status that traps it today.

That's about it. Categorizing philosophers in these shitty graphs is retarded because it shows a gross ineptitude with regard to how philosophers learn from earlier generations. Philosophy, more than any other science, is a tree instead of a competition.
