2110	We all expect the sun to rise tomorrow by experience, but astronomers expect it by reason [Leibniz]
	Full Idea: When we expect it to be day tomorrow, we all behave as empiricists, because until now it has always happened thus. The astronomer alone knows this by reason.
	From: Gottfried Leibniz (Monadology [1716], §28)
