“Every accomplishment, every refined talent, every useful attainment in mathematics, music, and in all sciences, and art belong to the Saints.”
“In every department of physical science there is only so much science, properly so-called, as there is mathematics.”
“The greatest mathematics has the simplicity and inevitableness of supreme poetry and music, standing on the borderland of all that is wonderful in Science, and all that is beautiful in Art.”
“I could never have gone far in any science because on the path of every science the lion Mathematics lies in wait for you.”
“All our talents increase in the using, and every faculty, both good and bad, strengthens by exercise.”
“Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art; it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement.”
