More quotes by 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
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
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
The present is great with the future.
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
All things in God are spontaneous.
Gottfried Leibniz
I also take it as granted that every created thing, and consequently the created monad also, is subject to change, and indeed that this change is continual in each one.
Gottfried Leibniz
Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic.
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
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
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
Philosophy consists mostly of kicking up a lot of dust and then complaining that you can't see anything.
Gottfried Leibniz
Nothing is more important than to see the sources of invention which are, in my opinion more interesting than the inventions themselves.
Gottfried Leibniz
Indeed every monad must be different from every other. For there are never in nature two beings, which are precisely alike, and in which it is not possible to find some difference which is internal, or based on some intrinsic quality.
Gottfried Leibniz
The words 'Here you can find perfect peace' can be written only over the gates of a cemetery.
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
We should like Nature to go no further we should like it to be finite, like our mind but this is to ignore the greatness and majesty of the Author of things.
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
It's easier to be original and foolish than original and wise.
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
