Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
Albert Einstein
Go down deep enough into anything and you will find mathematics.
Dean Schlicter
Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your head.

Ludwig Wittgenstein
But mathematics is the sister, as well as the servant, of the arts and is touched with the same madness and genius.
Harold Marston Morse
Mathematics is as much an aspect of culture as it is a collection of algorithms.
Carl Boyer-1949
The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.
Eric Hoffer
I don’t agree with mathematics; the sum total of zeros is a frightening figure.
Stanislaw J. Lec
If equations are trains threading the landscape of numbers, then no train stops at pi.
Richard Preston
I never did very well in math – I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn’t meant my answers literally.
Calvin Trillin
It is a mathematical fact that fifty percent of all doctors graduate in the bottom half of their class.

Arithmetic is numbers you squeeze from your head to your hand to your pencil to your paper till you get the answer.
Carl Sandburg
Even stranger things have happened; and perhaps the strangest of all is the marvel that mathematics should be possible to a race akin to the apes.
Eric T. Bell
So if a man’s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again.
Francis Bacon
The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple.
S. Gudder
The mathematics are distinguished by a particular privilege, that is, in the course of ages, they may always advance and can never recede.
Edward Gibbon
It is not the job of mathematicians… to do correct arithmetical operations. It is the job of bank accountants.
Samuil Shchatunovski
Let us grant that the pursuit of mathematics is a divine madness of the human spirit, a refuge from the goading urgency of contingent happenings.
Alfred North Whitehead
The most savage controversies are those about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way. Persecution is used in theology, not in arithmetic.
Bertrand Russell
Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.
Gottfried Leibniz
How many times can you subtract 7 from 83, and what is left afterwards? You can subtract it as many times as you want, and it leaves 76 every time.

Mathematics – the unshaken Foundation of Sciences, and the plentiful Fountain of Advantage to human affairs.
Isaac Barrow
A mathematician is a scientist who can figure out anything except such simple things as squaring the circle and trisecting an angle.
Evan Esar
Although he may not always recognize his bondage, modern man lives under a tyranny of numbers.
Nicholas Eberstadt
The mathematics are usually considered as being the very antipodes of Poesy. Yet Mathesis and Poesy are of the closest kindred, for they are both works of the imagination.
Thomas Hill
I used to love mathematics for its own sake, and I still do, because it allows for no hypocrisy and no vagueness….
Stendhal
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein
God does not care about our mathematical difficulties; He integrates empirically.
Albert Einstein
To all of us who hold the Christian belief that God is truth, anything that is true is a fact about God, and mathematics is a branch of theology.
Hilda Phoebe Hudson
The different branches of Arithmetic – Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.
Lewis Carroll
Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little; it is only its mathematical properties that we can discover.
Bertrand Russell
If a healthy minded person takes an interest in science, he gets busy with his mathematics and haunts the laboratory.
W.S. Franklin
Proof is an idol before whom the pure mathematician tortures himself.
Arthur Stanley Eddington
One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical formulas have an independent existence and an intelligence of their own, that they are wiser than we are, wiser even than their discoverers…
Heinrich Hertz
In most sciences one generation tears down what another has built and what one has established another undoes. In mathematics alone each generations adds a new story to the old structure.
Hermann Hankel
Mathematics may be defined as the economy of counting. There is no problem in the whole of mathematics which cannot be solved by direct counting.

Percy William Bridgman
A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars. That’s subtraction.

Pliny the Elder
One of the endlessly alluring aspects of mathematics is that its thorniest paradoxes have a way of blooming into beautiful theories.

Bertrand Russell-1912
The man ignorant of mathematics will be increasingly limited in his grasp of the main forces of civilization.
John Kemeny
