Karl Weierstrass

The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which God revealed to us in the language of mathematics.

Johannes Kepler

How can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of humnan thought, independent of experience, is so admirably adapted to the objects of reality?

Albert Einstein

It is easier to square the circle than to get round a mathematician.

Augustus de Morgan

The union of mathematics with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal.
