Famous quotes containing the words everyday and/or mathematics:
“When we believe ourselves in possession of the only truth, we are likely to be indifferent to common everyday truths.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“In mathematics he was greater
Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
For he, by geometric scale,
Could take the size of pots of ale;
Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
If bread and butter wanted weight;
And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
The clock doth strike, by algebra.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
