Reality Cannot Be Found Except In One

It Is Worth Noting That The Notation Facilitates Discovery. This, In A Most Wonderful Way, Reduces The Mind's Labour.

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.

All The Different Classes Of Beings Which Taken Together Make Up The Universe Are, In The Ideas Of God Who Knows Distinctly Their Essential Gradations, Only So Many Ordinates Of A Single Curve So Closely United That It Would Be Impossible To Place Others Between Any Two Of Them, Since That Would Imply Disorder And Imperfection. Thus Men Are Linked With The Animals, These With The Plants And These With The Fossils Which In Turn Merge With Those Bodies Which Our Senses And Our Imagination Represent To Us As Absolutely Inanimate.

Take What You Need, Do What You Should, You Will Get What You Want.

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.
