The "seriousness" Of A Mathematical Theorem Lies, Not In Its Practical Consequences, Which Are Usually Negligible, But In The Significance Of The Mathematical Ideas Which It Connects.

It Is Not Worth An Intelligent Man's Time To Be In The Majority. By Definition, There Are Already Enough People To Do That.

Most People Are So Frightened Of The Name Of Mathematics That They Are Ready, Quite Unaffectedly, To Exaggerate Their Own Mathematical Stupidity.

There Is Always More In One Of Ramanujan's Formulae Than Meets The Eye, As Anyone Who Sets To Work To Verify Those Which Look The Easiest Will Soon Discover. In Some The Interest Lies Very Deep, In Others Comparatively Near The Surface; But There Is Not One Which Is Not Curious And Entertaining.

Pure Mathematics Is On The Whole Distinctly More Useful Than Applied... For What Is Useful Above All Is Technique, And Mathematical Technique Is Taught Mainly Through Pure Mathematics.
