Constant/mathematics

Famous quotes containing the words constant and/or mathematics:

    With wavering steps does fickle fortune stray,
    Nowhere she finds a firm and fixed abode;
    But now all smiles, and now again all frowns,
    She’s constant only in inconstancy.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    ... though mathematics may teach a man how to build a bridge, it is what the Scotch Universities call the humanities, that teach him to be civil and sweet-tempered.
    Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
