Gottfried Leibniz Past Quotations

The past is pregnant with the present.

The present is big with the future, the future might be read in the past, the distant is expressed in the near.

In my judgment an organic machine new to nature never arises, since it always contains an infinity of organs so that it can express, in its own way, the whole universe; indeed, it always contains all past and present times.

The present is saturated with the past and pregnant with the future.
