Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787

But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

I zigged when I should have zagged and got totally zug-zugged.
-Me

Pythagoras: "Bless us divine number, who generated Gods and men. Number containest the root and source of enternally flowing creation."

 

Plato: "God ever geometrizes"

 

Galileo: "The book of the Universe is written in mathematical language, without which one wanders in vain through a dark Labyrinth."

 

Herz: "One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical fomulas have an indepent existence and Intelligent of their own, that they are wiser than we are, wiser even than their discoveries, that we get more out of them than was originally put into them."

 

....and who forgot the original impulses that led them to mathematics in the first place.

 

Classical mechanics assumes that: 1 The time interval between events is independant of the motion of the observer. 2 The space interval (length) of a body is the independant of the motion of the observer.

I have three favorite quotes:

1) Think only of the past as it's remembrance brings you pleasure.

2) When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.

3) If you want to know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders.

"If they came to hear me beg, they will be disappointed." -Thel 'Vadamee, Halo 2

"Living in the past is a luxury none of us can afford. We must learn from it, but we cannot live there. It is impossible to plan for the now - the present is ever fleeting. The future is where we must live. The future is what we must plan for." -Excerpt from 24 terabyte data image extracted from Forerunner Terminal Network
