It May Be True, That Men, Who

Mathematics Is The Queen Of Sciences And Number Theory Is The Queen Of Mathematics. She Often Condescends To Render Service To Astronomy And Other Natural Sciences, But In All Relations She Is Entitled To The First Rank.

In My Opinion Instruction Is Very Purposeless For Such Individuals Who Do No Want Merely To Collect A Mass Of Knowledge, But Are Mainly Interested In Exercising (training) Their Own Powers. One Doesn't Need To Grasp Such A One By The Hand And Lead Him To The Goal, But Only From Time To Time Give Him Suggestions, In Order That He May Reach It Himself In The Shortest Way.

...as Our Friend Zach Has Often Noted, In Our Days Those Who Do The Best For Astronomy Are Not The Salaried University Professors, But So-called Dillettanti, Physicians, Jurists, And So Forth.lamenting The Fragmentary Time Left To A Professor Has Remaining After Fulfilling His Teaching Duties.

Mathematics Is The Queen Of The Sciences.

No Contradictions Will Arise As Long As Finite Man Does Not Mistake The Infinite For Something Fixed, As Long As He Is Not Led By An Acquired Habit Of Mind To Regard The Infinite As Something Bounded.
