"Thus, if the smallest evil that comes to pass in the world were missing in it, it would no 
longer be this world; which, with nothing omitted and all allowance made, was found the 
best by the Creator who chose it. ... We know, moreover, that often an evil brings forth a 
good whereto one would not have attained without that evil. Often indeed two evils have 
made one great good: Et si fata volunt, bina venena juvant [Ausonius]."
G. W. Leibniz, Theodicy, 1710. [Therein God has ordered all things beforehand once for all.]
