Famous quotes containing the words mathematics and/or science:

    “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)

    “There are some things in science which should be brought to light. There are others, doctor, which should be left alone.”
    —Griffin Jay, Maxwell Shane (1905–1983)
