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. ↗

Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. ↗

If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability. ↗

We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry. ↗

I believe sanity and realism can be restored to the teaching of Mathematical Statistics most easily and directly by entrusting such teaching largely to men and women who have had personal experience of research in the Natural Sciences. ↗

The analysis of variance is not a mathematical theorem, but rather a convenient method of arranging the arithmetic. ↗

Therefore I would not have it unknown to Your Holiness, the the only thing which induced me to look for another way of reckoning the movements of the heavenly bodies was that I knew that mathematicians by no means agree in their investigation thereof. ↗

If God creates a world of particles and waves, dancing in obedience to mathematical and physical laws, who are we to say that he cannot make use of those laws to cover the surface of a small planet with living creatures? ↗

As the existence of a corps of professors of mathematics is peculiar to our navy, as well as an apparent, perhaps a real, anomaly, some account of it may be of interest. ↗
