In most sciences one generation tears down what another has built and what one has established another undoes. In mathematics alone each generations adds… — Hermann Hankel Copy Share Image
During the past fifty years, more mathematics has been created than in all previous ages put together. — Ian Stewart Copy Share Image
Mathematics is a vast adventure; its history reflects some of the noblest thoughts of countless generations. — Dirk Jan Struik Copy Share Image
What promotes math progress even more than new ideas are new technical tools and habits of thought that encapsulate existing ideas, so that insights… — Jim Propp Copy Share Image
The longer mathematics lives the more abstract - and therefore, possibly also the more practical - it becomes. — Anonymous Copy Share Image
“Our generation is witness to a development of physical knowledge such as has not been seen since the days of Kepler, Galileo and Newton, and mathematics has scarcely ever experienced such a stormy epoch. Mathematical thought removes the spirit from its worldly haunts to solitude and renounces the unveiling of the secrets of Nature. But as recompense, mathematics is less… — Hermann Weyl Copy Share
Every kind of science, if it has only reached a certain degree of maturity, automatically becomes a part of mathematics. — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
Mathematics are one of the fundamentaries of educationalizing our youth. — George W. Bush Copy Share Image

[Mathematics is] purely intellectual, a pure theory of forms, which has for its objects not the combination of quantities or their images, the numbers,… — Hermann Hankel Copy Share Image
Isolated, so-called "pretty theorems" have even less value in the eyes of a modern mathematician than the discovery of a new "pretty flower" has… — Hermann Hankel Copy Share Image
Most marriages don't add two people together. They subtract one from the other. — Ian Fleming Copy Share Image
Friendship, "the wine of life," should, like a well-stocked cellar, be continually renewed; and it is consolatory to think, that although we can seldom… — James Boswell Copy Share Image
Life as we know it is fundamentally unsatisfying. I think most folks feel this to be true. They know that a life of aimless consumption isn't much of a life. And work offers us very little satisfaction. Plus our work and consumption is destroying the environment. And this is in the rich countries. Add starvation, etc. to the mix, and… — Michael Yates Copy Share

A 'modern' man has nothing to add to modernism, if only because he has nothing to oppose it with. The well-adapted drop off the… — Elias Canetti Copy Share Image
Observation and theory get on best when they are mixed together, both helping one another in the pursuit of truth. It is a good rule not to put overmuch confidence in a theory until it has been confirmed by observation. I hope I shall not shock the experimental physicists too much if I add that it is also a good… — Arthur Eddington Copy Share

The American Constitution declares 'All men are born equal.' The British Socialist Party add: 'All men must be kept equal'. — Winston Churchill Copy Share Image
New generations of humans inherit the acquired discoveries of generations past, allowing cosmic insight to accumulate without limit. Each discovery of science therefore adds a rung to a ladder of knowledge whose end is not in sight because we are building the ladder as we go along. As far as I can tell, as we assemble and ascend this ladder,… — Neil deGrasse Tyson Copy Share

In presenting a mathematical argument the great thing is to give the educated reader the chance to catch on at once to the momentary point and take details for granted: two trivialities omitted can add up to an impasse). The unpractised writer, even after the dawn of a conscience, gives him no such chance; before he can spot the point… — John Edensor Littlewood Copy Share
