Gottfried Leibniz
I hold that it is only when we can prove everything we assert that we understand perfectly the thing under consideration.
Gottfried Leibniz
The present is saturated with the past and pregnant with the future.
Gottfried Leibniz
It's easier to be original and foolish than original and wise.
Gottfried Leibniz
It is God who is the ultimate reason things, and the Knowledge of God is no less the beginning of science than his essence and will are the beginning of things.
Gottfried Leibniz

Gottfried Leibniz
There is no way in which a simple substance could begin in the course of nature, since it cannot be formed by means of compounding.
Gottfried Leibniz
For things remain possible, even if God does not choose them. Indeed, even if God does not will something to exist, it is possible for it to exist, since, by its nature, it could exist if God were to will it to exist.
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
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
The pleasure we obtain from music comes from counting, but counting unconsciously. Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic.
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
A great doctor kills more people than a great general.
Gottfried Leibniz
God makes nothing without order, and everything that forms itself develops imperceptibly out of small parts.
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
The present is big with the future, the future might be read in the past, the distant is expressed in the near.
Gottfried Leibniz
Nothing is accomplished all at once, and it is one of my great maxims, and one of the most completely verified, that Nature makes no leaps: a maxim which I have called the law of continuity.
Gottfried Leibniz
The present is great with the future.
Gottfried Leibniz
