Numbers Quotes

The kind of knowledge which is supported only by observations and is not yet proved must be carefully distinguished from the truth; it is gained by induction, as we usually say. Yet we have seen cases in which mere induction led to error. Therefore, we should take great care not to accept as true such properties of the numbers which we have discovered by observation and which are supported by induction alone. Indeed, we should use such a discovery as an opportunity to investigate more exactly the properties discovered and to prove or disprove them; in both cases we may learn something useful Picture Quote #1

Befriending provides a valuable lifeline to many people who feel isolated in their communities often as a result of ill health or poverty. I would like to thank all those who volunteer as befrienders and I hope that your numbers will increase in coming years. Your kindness and hard work is, I know, very much appreciated by those you help Picture Quote #1

Whether a belief is considered to be a delusion or not depends partly upon the intensity with which it is defended, and partly upon the numbers of people subscribing to it Picture Quote #1

We have become so obsessed by numbers and by bottom lines that beauty and truth has been knocked aside Picture Quote #1

You’re not smarter than your competitor. Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers Picture Quote #1

As damaging as the obsessive emphasis on testing often proves to be for kids in general, I believe that the effects are still more harmful in those schools in which the resources available to help the children learn the skills that will be measured by these tests are fewest, the scores they get are predictably the lowest, and the strategies resorted to by principals in order to escape the odium attaching to a disappointing set of numbers tend to be the most severe Picture Quote #1

One should not associate with controversy; one should always reach for the highest ratings; one should never forget that there is safety in numbers; one should always remember that comedy, adventure, and escapism provide the best atmosphere for selling Picture Quote #1

By the numbers, by all the official records, here at the confluence of history, of racism, of poverty, and economic power, this is what our lives are worth: nothing Picture Quote #1

At a time when threats to the physical environment have never been greater, it may be tempting to believe that people need to be mounting the barricades rather than asking abstract questions about the human place in nature. Yet without confronting such questions, it will be hard to know which barricades to mount, and harder still to persuade large numbers of people to mount them with us. To protect the nature that is all around us, we must think long and hard about the nature we carry inside our heads Picture Quote #1

The mathematical phenomenon always develops out of simple arithmetic, so useful in everyday life, out of numbers, those weapons of the gods: the gods are there, behind the wall, at play with numbers Picture Quote #1

The only reason that we like complex numbers is that we don’t like real numbers Picture Quote #1

Man is the only creature disposed to kill huge numbers of members of his own species, and his instrument is usually the state Picture Quote #1

Algebra messed up one of those divisions between things that help you make sense of the world and keep it tidy. Letters make words; figures make numbers. They had no business getting tangled up together Picture Quote #1

We must not allow this generation to produce record numbers for the juvenile justice, runaway and homeless youth, or foster care systems Picture Quote #1

I don’t read, much less follow, the valuations or predictions. I study the numbers Picture Quote #1

For years I exercised to be thinner, and I never got the results I wanted. When I finally started working out to be healthier, I saw a transformation. I’ve even quit weighing myself so I don’t obsess over the numbers Picture Quote #1

Everything started coming into my head,... I was the youngest world champ and now I’m the oldest world champ; it’s been seven years since I won my last title and this is my seventh one... but all those numbers and things are not as important as the feeling Picture Quote #1

To minds tormented by the divine thirst, it is useless to offer the most certain knowledge of the laws of numbers and the arrangement of the universe Picture Quote #1

Trying to talk somebody out of the stuff that they enjoy in life is like trying to talk them out of their faith or their sexuality. It’s a pointless exercise that can never be anything but acrimonious and will only highlight unnecessary amounts of difference about things that ultimately don’t really matter. Buy the steak you like, worship the God you love, neck with the people that you treasure and don’t worry about the numbers Picture Quote #1

I’m not a guy that sets a number of goals. If I can go out and continue to have a consistent approach every day and get to where I feel comfortable enough. Then I go into a game, relax and play, the numbers will take care of themselves Picture Quote #1

I have tasted freedom. I will not give up that which I have tasted. I have a lot more to drink. For that reason, the political numbers game will be played. I know the rules of their game now and how to play it Picture Quote #1

To give emphasis only to beauty makes me think of a mathematics that deals with positive numbers only Picture Quote #1

... numbers have neither substance, nor meaning, nor qualities. They are nothing but marks, and all that is in them we have put into them by the simple rule of straight succession Picture Quote #1

... works of piety and charity... are necessary in this present life for as long as inequality prevails. Their workings here would not be required were it not for the superabundant numbers of the poor, the needy, and the sick... As long as this inequity rages in the world, these good works will be necessary and valuable to anyone practicing them and they shall yield the reward of an everlasting inheritance to the man of good heart and concerned will Picture Quote #1

Without mathematics, there’s nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers Picture Quote #1

Appropriated to justice, to security, to reason, to restraint; where there is no respect of persons; where will is nothing and power is nothing and numbers are nothing, and all are equal and all secure before the law Picture Quote #1

No number before zero. The numbers may go on forever, but like the cosmos, they have a beginning Picture Quote #1

It never happens that, when we go home and open the refrigerator, we see all infinitely many prime numbers there Picture Quote #1

A generating function is a clothesline on which we hang up a sequence of numbers for display Picture Quote #1

The transfinite numbers are in a certain sense themselves new irrationalities and in fact in my opinion the best method of defining the finite irrational numbers is wholly disimilar to, and I might even say in priciple the same as, my method described above of introducing trasfinite numbers. One can say unconditionally: the transfinite numbers stand or fall with the finite irrational numbers; they are like each other in their innermost being; for the former like the latter are definite delimited forms or modifications of the actual infinite Picture Quote #1
