Re: R: Leibniz was quite the dandy!
Usually you can track down the source of any genuine quote by entering it on books.google.com, this one shows up here: http://books.google.com/books?id=zfM8IAAJ&lpg=PP1&pg=PA383 It's from an essay Maxwell wrote called "Analogies in Nature", which begins on this page (two pages are missing from the preview on google books though): http://books.google.com/books?id=zfM8IAAJ&lpg=PP1&pg=PA376 On Sun, Aug 4, 2013 at 3:20 PM, meekerdb wrote: > On 8/4/2013 12:12 AM, scerir wrote: > > "The only laws of matter are those > which our minds must fabricate, > and the only laws of mind > are fabricated for it by matter." > - James Clerk Maxwell > > > Good quote.
