Gottfried Leibniz quotes
" And as every state of a simple substance is a natural consequence of its preceding state, so that the present state of it is big with the future. "

Gottfried Leibniz
" But in simple substances the influence of one monad over another is ideal only. "

Gottfried Leibniz
" Finally there are simple ideas of which no definition can be given; there are also axioms or postulates, or in a word primary principles, which cannot be proved and have no need of proof. "

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
" God alone is the primary Unity, or original simple substance, from which all monads, created and derived, are produced. "

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
" I do not conceive of any reality at all as without genuine unity. "

Gottfried Leibniz
" I hold that the mark of a genuine idea is that its possibility can be proved, either a priori by conceiving its cause or reason, or a posteriori when experience teaches us that it is in fact in nature. "

Gottfried Leibniz
" I maintain also that substances, whether material or immaterial, cannot be conceived in their bare essence without any activity, activity being of the essence of substance in general. "

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
" It can have its effect only through the intervention of God, inasmuch as in the ideas of God a monad rightly demands that God, in regulating the rest from the beginning of things, should have regard to itself. "

Gottfried Leibniz
" It follows from what we have just said, that the natural changes of monads come from an internal principle, since an external cause would be unable to influence their inner being. "

Gottfried Leibniz
" It is a good thing to proceed in order and to establish propositions. This is the way to gain ground and to progress with certainty. "

Gottfried Leibniz
" It is this way that in mathematics speculative theorems and practical canons are reduced by analysis to definitions, axioms and postulates. "

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. "
