Bombs Are Probably More Merciful Than Bayonets

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 Hardly Possible To Maintain Seriously That The Evil Done By Science Is Not Altogether Outweighed By The Good. For Example, If Ten Million Lives Were Lost In Every War, The Net Effect Of Science Would Still Have Been To Increase The Average Length Of Life.

Mathematics May, Like Poetry Or Music, "promote And Sustain A Lofty Habit Of Mind."

Asked If He Believes In One G-d, A Mathematician Answered: "yes, Up To Isomorphism".

Greek Mathematics Is The Real Thing. The Greeks First Spoke A Language Which Modern Mathematicians Can Understand... So Greek Mathematics Is 'permanent', More Permanent Even Than Greek Literature.
