490	Everything happens by reason and necessity [Leucippus]
	Full Idea: Nothing happens at random; everything happens out of reason and by necessity.
	From: Leucippus (fragments/reports [c.435 BCE], B002), quoted by (who?) - where?

10. Modality / C. Sources of Modality / 1. Sources of Necessity

4743	The truth-maker for a truth must necessitate that truth [Armstrong]
	Full Idea: The truth-maker for a truth must necessitate that truth.
	From: David M. Armstrong (A World of States of Affairs [1997], p.115), quoted by Pascal Engel - Truth Ch.1
