More quotes by 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
In symbols one observes an advantage in discovery which is greatest when they express the exact nature of a thing briefly and, as it were, picture it then indeed the labor of thought is wonderfully diminished.
Gottfried Leibniz
All things in God are spontaneous.
Gottfried Leibniz
Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic.
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
One cannot explain words without making incursions into the sciences themselves, as is evident from dictionaries and, conversely, one cannot present a science without at the same time defining its terms.
Gottfried Leibniz
The present is great with the future.
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
Therefore, I have attacted [the problem of the catenary] which I had hitherto not attempted, and with my key [the differential calculus] happily opened its secret. Acta eruditorum
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
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
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
Make me the the master of education, and I will undertake to change the world.
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
The present is big with the future, the future might be read in the past, the distant is expressed in the near.
Gottfried Leibniz
Now where there are no parts, there neither extension, nor shape, nor divisibility is possible. And these monads are the true atoms of nature and, in a word, the elements of things.
Gottfried Leibniz
God makes nothing without order, and everything that forms itself develops imperceptibly out of small parts.
Gottfried Leibniz
To love is to place happiness in the heart of another.
Gottfried Leibniz
He who understands Archimedes and Apollonius will admire less the achievements of the foremost men of later times.
Gottfried Leibniz
There is nothing without reason.
Gottfried Leibniz
