“Equations are more important to me, because politics is for the present, but an equation is something for eternity.”
“One must divide one's time between politics and equations. But our equations are much more important to me, because politics is for the present, while our equations are for eternity.”
“Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever. ”
“Politics is for the moment and equation is for eternity.”
“In the annals of innovation, new ideas are only part of the equation. Execution is just as important.”
“People ask me what I am politically and I've previously offered this equation: I became a conservative by being around liberals. And I became a libertarian after being around conservatives.”
