I speculate that this is the best of all possible worlds, for philosophy is the best of humanity, and this world is the best philosophically.

Kedar Joshi

There are innumerable worlds of different sizes. In some there is neither sun not moon, in others they are larger than in ours and others have more than one. These worlds are at irregular distances, more in one direction and less in another, and some are flourishing, others declining. Here they come into being, there they die, and they are distroyed by collision with one another. Some of the worlds have no animal or vegetable life nor any water.

Democritus

We live in the best of all possible worlds

Gottfried Leibniz

This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.

John Adams

This is a work of fiction. Still, given an infinite number of possible worlds, it must be true on one of them. And if a story set in an infinite number of possible worlds is true in one of them, then it must be true in all of them. So maybe, it's not as fictional as we think.

Neil Gaiman

If man wants to obtain knowledge of the greatness and happiness of these worlds, then is nothing else possible than that he also will be introduced to the dangerous, with the fearfulness that they contain. One is not possible without the other.

Rudolf Steiner

The world is the best of all possible worlds, and everything in it is a necessary evil.

F. H. Bradley

All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.

Voltaire

Optimists think that this is the best of all possible worlds; pessimists fear they are right.

J. Robert Oppenheimer

The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true.

J. Robert Oppenheimer

I feel like karma is something that's real. I try and be the best possible person I can be, but not only that I try to help as many people as possible and influence others in a positive manner. And that's all stuff brought on by MMA because I want to be successful so want to be the best possible person.

Danny Castillo

The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist fears this is true.

James Branch Cabell

Reality may not be the best of all possible worlds, but it's still the only place where you can get a decent steak.

Woody Allen

In the best of all possible worlds, directors would obsess about the quality of their storytelling, and not the details of their technical methods.

Roger Ebert

I went to Goucher College in Maryland for the best possible reasons - to learn - but then I dropped out at 19 for the best possible reasons - to become a writer.

Anne Lamott

Yes, it's possible to have the best of both worlds. My personal life is going great, and so is my career. Who says I have to give one up to have the other?

Heart Evangelista
