It Is God Who Is The Ultimate Reason Things, And The Knowledge Of God Is No Less The Beginning Of Science Than His Essence And Will Are The Beginning Of Things.

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.

There Is Nothing Without Reason.

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