Quotations for mathematics

Mathematics is the mind's recreation. [ Averoni ]

Mathematics are a ballast for the soul. [ T. Fuller ]

Mathematics has not a foot to stand on which is not purely metaphysical. [ De Quincey ]

A mathematician is a practical man, estimating things by their real utility. [ W. H. Prescott ]

We perfectly know what is good, and what is evil, and may be as certain in morals as in mathematics. [ Proverb ]

There is a great difference in the delivery of the mathematics, which are the most abstracted of knowledges. [ Lord Bacon ]

The whole body of the pure mathematics is absolutely useless to ninety-nine out of every hundred who study them. [ T. S. Grimke ]

Mathematics does not exercise the judgment, and if too exclusively pursued, may leave the student very ill qualified for moral reasoning. [ R. Whately ]

Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; morals, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend. [ Bacon ]

In destroying the predisposition to anger, science of all kinds is useful; but the mathematics possess the property in the most eminent degree. [ Dr. Rush ]

God has made an unerring law for His whole creation, upon principles which, so far as we now know, can never he understood without the aid of mathematics. [ E. D. Mansfield ]

Mathematics is the science which investigates the consequences which are logically deducible from any given or admitted relations between magnitudes or numbers. [ T. Galloway ]

The mathematics are friends to religion, inasmuch as they charm the passions, restrain the impetuosity or imagination, and purge the mind from error and prejudice. [ Arbuthnot ]

He that gives a portion of his time and talent to the investigation of mathematical truth, will come to all other questions with a decided advantage over his opponents. [ Colton ]

I consider the study of mathematics the basis of the soundest mode of reasoning, the foundation of metaphysical deductions; it contains eternal truths, concluded by pure intelligence. [ Sir R. Maltravers ]

The study of the mathematics is like climbing up a steep and craggy mountain; when once you reach the top, it fully recompenses your trouble, by opening a fine, clear, and extensive prospect. [ Jeremiah Day ]

Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend. [ Lord Bacon ]

I have mentioned mathematics as a way to settle in the mind a habit of reasoning closely, and in train; not that I think it necessary that all men should be deep mathematicians, but that having got the way of reasoning, which that study necessarily brings the mind to, they might be able to transfer it to other parts of knowledge, as they have occasion. [ J. Locke ]

The study of the mathematics cultivates the reason; that of the languages at the same time the reason and the taste. The former gives power to the mind; the latter, both power and flexibility. The former, by itself, would prepare us for a state of certainties, which nowhere exists; the latter, for a state of probabilities, which is that of common life. [ T. Godfrey ]
