He who does not act does not exist. - Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

Perceptions which are at present insensible may grow some day: nothing is useless, and eternity provides great scope for change.

Omne possibile exigit existere.

My philosophical views approach somewhat closely those of the late Countess of Conway, and hold a middle position between Plato and Democritus, because I hold that all things take place mechanically as Democritus and Descartes contend against the views of Henry More and his followers, and hold too, nevertheless, that everything takes place according to a living principle and according to final causes — all things are full of life and consciousness, contrary to the views of the Atomists.
