Gottfried Leibniz
The present is saturated with the past and pregnant with the future.
Gottfried Leibniz
A great doctor kills more people than a great general.
Gottfried Leibniz

Gottfried Leibniz
And there must be simple substances, because there are compounds for the compound is nothing but a collection or aggregatum of simples.
Gottfried Leibniz
For since it is impossible for a created monad to have a physical influence on the inner nature of another, this is the only way in which one can be dependent on another.
Gottfried Leibniz
To love is to place happiness in the heart of another.
Gottfried Leibniz
All things in God are spontaneous.
Gottfried Leibniz
It is unworthy of excellent men to lose hours like slaves in the labor of calculation which could be relegated to anyone else if machines were used.
Gottfried Leibniz
The present is big with the future, the future might be read in the past, the distant is expressed in the near.
Gottfried Leibniz
