In every department of physical science there is only so much science, properly so-called, as there is mathematics.
~math quotes sayings by Immanuel Kant
Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little; it is only its mathematical properties that we can discover.
~inspirational sayings about Science quotes by Bertrand Russell
I like mathematics because it is not human and has nothing particular to do with this planet or with the whole accidental universe - because like Spinoza's God, it won't love us in return.
~math quotes by Bertrand Russell, 1912
[G]eometry is not true, it is advantageous.
~famous quotes about Math by Henri Poincaré
Suppose some mathematical creature from the moon were to reckon up the human body; he would at once see that the essential thing about it was that it was duplicate. A man is two men, he on the right exactly resembling him on the left. Having noted that there was an arm on the right and one on the left, a leg on the right and one on the left, he might go further and still find on each side the same number of fingers, the same number of toes, twin eyes, twin ears, twin nostrils, and even twin lobes of the brain. At last he would take it as a law; and then, where he found a heart on one side, would deduce that there was another heart on the other. And just then, where he most felt he was right, he would be wrong.
~math sayings by Gilbert Keith Chesterton, The Paradoxes of Christianity, Orthodoxy

Let us grant that the pursuit of mathematics is a divine madness of the human spirit, a refuge from the goading urgency of contingent happenings.

The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic.
~famous quotes about Math by Bertrand Russell
It is a mathematical fact that fifty percent of all doctors graduate in the bottom half of their class.
~math sayings by Author Unknown
If there is a God, he's a great mathematician.
~math quotes sayings by Paul Dirac
One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical formulas have an independent existence and an intelligence of their own, that they are wiser than we are, wiser even than their discoverers...
~inspirational sayings about Math quotes by Heinrich Hertz
Mathematics - the unshaken Foundation of Sciences, and the plentiful Fountain of Advantage to human affairs.
~math quotes by Isaac Barrow
It is a safe rule to apply that, when a mathematical or philosophical author writes with a misty profundity, he is talking nonsense.
~famous quotes about Language by Alfred North Whitehead
If two wrongs don't make a right, try three.
~math sayings by Author Unknown
I shall not die of a cold. I shall die of having lived.
~math quotes sayings by Willa Cather

~good sayings about Men by Author Unknown
Sin lies only in hurting other people unnecessarily. All other sins are invented nonsense. (Hurting yourself is not a sin - just stupid.)
~math quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
This coffee falls into your stomach, and straightway there is a general commotion. Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army of the battlefield, and the battle takes place. Things remembered arrive at full gallop, ensuing to the wind. The light cavalry of comparisons deliver a magnificent deploying charge, the artillery of logic hurry up with their train and ammunition, the shafts of with start up like sharpshooters. Similes arise, the paper is covered with ink; for the struggle commences and is concluded with torrents of black water, just as a battle with powder.
~motivational quotes about Caffeine sayings by Honore de Balzac, The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee
A mental stain can neither be blotted out by the passage of time nor washed away by any waters.
~math sayings by Cicero
Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.
~math quotes sayings by Bill Vaughn
Why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the B Minor Mass?
~good sayings about Psychology by Michael Torke
Intelligence appears to be the thing that enables a man to get along without education. Education enables a man to get along without the use of his intelligence.
~math quotes by Albert Edward Wiggam
Mishaps are like knives, that either serve us or cut us, as we grasp them by the blade or the handle
~motivational quotes about Adversity sayings by James Russell Lowell, "Cambridge Thirty Years Ago," Literary Essays
The one real object of education is to have a man in the condition of continually asking questions.
~math sayings by Bishop Mandell Creighton
I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
~math quotes sayings by Henry Ward Beecher
It takes about ten years to get used to how old you are.
~good sayings about Age by Quoted by Raymond A. Michel in The Leaf
