Place/mathematics

Famous quotes containing the words place and/or mathematics:

“Man hath still either toys or care:
But hath no root, nor to one place is tied,
But ever restless and irregular,
About this earth doth run and ride.
He knows he hath a home, but scarce knows where;
He says it is so far,
That he has quite forgot how to go there.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

“I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
