It is utterly implausible that a mathematical formula should make the future known to us, and those who think it can would once have believed in witchcraft.

Jacob Bernoulli Mathematician

Even as the finite encloses an infinite series And in the unlimited limits appear, So the soul of immensity dwells in minutia And in the narrowest limits no limit in here. What joy to discern the minute in infinity! The vast to perceive in the small, what divinity!

Jacob Bernoulli Mathematician

As far as the education of children is concerned I think they should be taught not the little virtues but the great ones. Not thrift but generosity and an indifference to money; not caution but courage and a contempt for danger; not shrewdness but frankness and a love of truth; not tact but love for one's neighbor and self-denial; not a desire for success but a desire to be and to know.

Natalia Ginzburg Author

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Aristotle Philosopher

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

Abraham Lincoln 16th U.S. President

Jonathan Kozol Writer

We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love of reading.

B. F. Skinner Psychologist

No one has ever asked to see my degree certificate.

David Hockney Photographer

In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.

Mark Twain Author

Knowledge of the world in only to be acquired in the world, and not in a closet.
