Mathematical discoveries, small or great are never born of spontaneous generation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.
The credit of advancing science has always been due to individuals and never to the age.
None of the great discoveries was made by a 'specialist' or a 'researcher'.
In genetic epistemology, as in developmental psychology, too, there is never an absolute beginning.
Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.
Nothing is invented and perfected at the same time.
Indeed there are powers in the small child that are far greater than is generally realized, because it is in this period that the construction, the building-up, of man takes place, for at birth, psychically speaking, there is nothing at all - zero!
A mere copier of nature can never produce anything great.
Something cannot emerge from nothing.
Mathematicians are born, not made.
