“Numbers behave, words do not.”
“I am the bookkeeper, after all, and as a rule the numbers don’t behave too badly.”
“I am no poet. I do not love words for the sake of words. I love words for what they can accomplish. Similarly, I am no arithmetician. Numbers that speak only of numbers are of little interest to me.”
“The philosophy "Do as I say, not as I do" does not work. Modeling is more powerful than words in teaching your children how to behave. Set a good example for your child!”
“Numbers arrange themselves the way numbers will, just as a word will, a story.”
“Education does not mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.”
