A Little Learning Is A Dangerous Thing

The Calendar Is Intolerable To All Wisdom, The Horror Of All Astronomy, And A Laughing Stock From A Mathematician's Point Of View.

Mathematics Is The Gate And Key To Science.

There Are Two Modes Of Knowledge: Through Argument And Through Experience. Argument Brings Conclusions And Compels Us To Concede Them, But It Does Not Cause Certainty Nor Remove Doubts That The Mind May Rest In Truth, Unless This Is Provided By Experience.

No One Really Knew The Sciences Except The Lord Robert, Bishop Of Lincoln, By Reason Of His Length Of Life And Experience, As Well As Of His Studiousness And Zeal. He Knew Mathematics And Perspective, And There Was Nothing Which He Was Unable To Know; And At The Same Time He Was Sufficiently Acquainted With Languages To Be Able To Understand The Saints And The Philosophers And The Wise Men Of Antiquity But His Knowledge Of Languages Was Not Such As To Enable Him To Effect Translations Until The Latter Portion Of His Life.

Argument Is Conclusive, But It Does Not Remove Doubt, So That The Mind May Rest In The Sure Knowledge Of The Truth, Unless It Finds It By The Method Of Experiment.
