"The pleasures arising from thinking and learning..." - Quote by Aristotle

“The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order symmetry and limitations; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.”

“Whether we will philosophize or we won't philosophize, we must philosophize.”

“It is more difficult to organize a peace than to win a war; but the fruits of victory will be lost if the peace is not organized.”

“Not to know what has been transacted in former times is to be always a child. If no use is made of the labors of past ages, the world must remain always in the infancy of knowledge.”

“For the first time, I wasn't afraid to be smart, and she often stayed after school to work with me.”

“No one can teach, if by teaching we mean the transmission of knowledge, in any mechanical fashion, from one person to another. The most that can be done is that one person who is more knowledgeable than another can, by asking a series of questions, stimulate the other to think, and so cause him to learn for himself.”

“No amount of energy will take the place of thought.”

“The crystal sphere of thought is as concentrical as the geological structure of the globe. As our soils and rocks lie in strata, concentric strata, so do all men's thinkings run laterally, never vertically.”

“I went out to the hazelwood because a fire was in my head.”
