Famous quotes containing the words spell and/or law:
“They spell it Vinci and pronounce it Vinchy; foreigners always spell better than they pronounce.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (1848–1925)
