It Is A Good Thing To Proceed

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.

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.

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.

Nothing Is Necessitated Whose Opposite Is Possible.

The Words 'here You Can Find Perfect Peace' Can Be Written Only Over The Gates Of A Cemetery.
