Reality Cannot Be Found Except In One

It Has Long Seemed Ridiculous To Me To Suppose That The Nature Of Things Has Been So Poor And Stingy That It Provided Souls Only To Such A Trifling Mass Of Bodies On Our Globe, Like Human Bodies, When It Could Have Given Them To All, Without Interfering With Its Other Ends.

It Is Necessary To Believe That The Mixture Of Evil Has Produced The Greatest Possible Good: Otherwise The Evil Would Not Have Been Permitted.

There Is Nothing Without Reason.

We Never Have A Full Demonstration, Although There Is Always An Underlying Reason For The Truth, Even If It Is Only Perfectly Understood By God, Who Alone Penetrated The Infinite Series In One Stroke Of The Mind.

Reality Cannot Be Found Except In One Single Source, Because Of The Interconnection Of All Things With One Another. 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.
