And for mathematical science, he that doubts their certainty hath need of a dose of hellebore.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
So far as hypotheses are concerned, let no one expect anything certain from astronomy, which cannot furnish it, lest he accept as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose, and depart from this study a greater fool than when he entered it.
Proof is an idol before whom the pure mathematician tortures himself.
I have learned to have more faith in the scientist than he does in himself.
It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.
The scientist rigorously defends his right to be ignorant of almost everything except his specialty.
I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning.
Everyone knows what a curve is, until he has studied enough mathematics to become confused through the countless number of possible exceptions.
He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.
God is an awesome mathematician and physicist.
I am optimistic when I consider the spiritual dimension which the scientist's discipline forces him to ignore.
