It is comforting to reflect that the disproportion of things in the world seems to be only arithmetical.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The most important thing in arithmetic is not the shapes of the numbers but the reality living in them. This living reality has much more meaning for the spiritual world than what lives in reading and writing.
I always thought that I was okay with arithmetic.
Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.
Human beings cannot comprehend very large or very small numbers. It would be useful for us to acknowledge that fact.
I realise that in this undertaking I place myself in a certain opposition to views widely held concerning the mathematical infinite and to opinions frequently defended on the nature of numbers.
It is not of the essence of mathematics to be conversant with the ideas of number and quantity.
By all means, have you give great attention to your arithmetic, as its advantages are so many and important.
You don't have to be a mathematician to have a feel for numbers.
We must admit with humility that, while number is purely a product of our minds, space has a reality outside our minds, so that we cannot completely prescribe its properties a priori.
God does arithmetic.
