“Time is the wisest of all things that are; for it brings everything to light.” ― Thales
“Give me but a firm spot on which to stand, and I shall move the earth.”
― Archimedes, The Works of Archimedes
The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God. - Euclid
"As the sun eclipses the stars by its brilliancy, so the man of knowledge will eclipse the fame of others in assemblies of the people if he proposes algebraic problems, and still more if he solves them." ~Brahmagupta
"The greatest advantage in gambling lies in not playing at all" ~ Cardano
"I think, therefore I am," ~ Descartes
I have discovered a truly remarkable proof of this theorem which this margin is too small to contain. ~ Fermat
"If God does not exist, one will lose nothing by believing in him, while if he does exist, one will lose everything by not believing." ~ Pascal
"If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." ~ Newton
"I am convinced that the unwritten knowledge scattered among men of different callings surpasses in quantity and in importance anything we find in books, and that the greater part of our wealth has yet to be recorded." ~Leibniz
"Unfortunately what is little recognized is that the most worthwhile scientific books are those in which the author clearly indicates what he does not know; for an author most hurts his readers by concealing his difficulties." ~ Galois
“Mathematics is the queen of the sciences” ~ Gauss
“In Mathematics the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it.” ~Cantor
Mathematical science is in my opinion an indivisible whole, an organism whose vitality is conditioned upon the connection of its parts. ~ Hilbert
“I don’t do it for the bottom line, the inner force that drives mathematicians isn’t to look for applications; it is to understand the structure and inner beauty of mathematics.” ~Thurston
"What I like doing is taking something that other people thought was complicated and difficult to understand, and finding a simple idea so that any fool (and in this case you) can understand the complicated thing." ~ Conway
