The Present Is Big With The Future,

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.

We Live In The Best Of All Possible Worlds

Nothing Is More Important Than To See The Sources Of Invention Which Are, In My Opinion More Interesting Than The Inventions Themselves.

For, Above All, I Hold A Notion Of Possibility And Necessity According To Which There Are Some Things That Are Possible, But Yet Not Necessary, And Which Do Not Really Exist. From This It Follows That A Reason That Always Forces A Free Mind To Choose One Thing Over Another (whether That Reason Derives From The Perfection Of A Thing, As It Does In God, Or From Our Imperfection) Does Not Eliminate Our Freedom.

The Present Is Saturated With The Past And Pregnant With The Future.
