More quotes by Gottfried Leibniz
The greatness of a life can only be estimated by the multitude of its actions. We should not count the years, it is our actions which constitute our life.
Gottfried Leibniz
Indeed in general I hold that there is nothing truer than happiness, and nothing happier and sweeter than truth.
Gottfried Leibniz
The art of discovering the causes of phenomena, or true hypotheses, is like the art of deciphering, in which an ingenious conjecture often greatly shortens the road.
Gottfried Leibniz
Our reasonings are grounded upon two great principles, that of contradiction, in virtue of which we judge false that which involves a contradiction, and true that which is opposed or contradictory to the false.
Gottfried Leibniz
All things in God are spontaneous.
Gottfried Leibniz
Men act like brutes in so far as the sequences of their perceptions arise through the principle of memory only, like those empirical physicians who have mere practice without theory.
Gottfried Leibniz
Either there are no corporeal substances, and bodies are merely phenomena which are true or consistent with each other, such as a rainbow or a perfectly coherent dream, or there is in all corporeal substances something analogous to the soul.
Gottfried Leibniz
But it is the knowledge of necessary and eternal truths which distinguishes us from mere animals, and gives us reason and the sciences, raising us to knowledge of ourselves and God. It is this in us which we call the rational soul or mind.
Gottfried Leibniz
Natural religion itself, seems to decay very much. Many will have human souls to be material: others make God himself a corporeal being.
Gottfried Leibniz
God's relation to spirits is not like that of a craftsman to his work, but also like that of a prince to his subjects.
Gottfried Leibniz
The present is saturated with the past and pregnant with the future.
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
The world is not a machine. Everything in it is force, life, thought.
Gottfried Leibniz
There is a world of created beings - living things, animals, entelechies, and souls - in the least part of matter.... Thus there is nothing waste, nothing sterile, nothing dead in the universe no chaos, no confusions, save in appearance.
Gottfried Leibniz
The present is great with the future.
Gottfried Leibniz
In whatever manner God created the world, it would always have been regular and in a certain general order. God, however, has chosen the most perfect, that is to say, the one which is at the same time the simplest in hypothesis and the richest in phenomena.
Gottfried Leibniz
The pleasure we obtain from music comes from counting, but counting unconsciously. Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic.
Gottfried Leibniz
God makes nothing without order, and everything that forms itself develops imperceptibly out of small parts.
Gottfried Leibniz
If you have a clear idea of a soul, you will have a clear idea of a form for it is of the same genus, though a different species.
Gottfried Leibniz
I am so in favor of the actual infinite that instead of admitting that Nature abhors it, as is commonly said, I hold that Nature makes frequent use of it everywhere, in order to show more effectively the perfections of its Author.
Gottfried Leibniz
