Quotes about: Math

• Philosophy [nature] is written in that great book which ever is before our eyes -- I mean the universe -- but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in which it is written.

These are the novelties which are apt to bring about the ruin of commonwealths and the subversion of the state.
