Carl Friedrich Gauss

We are all connected to each other.

The greatest gift we can give to others is our love.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

The only constant in life is change.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

The universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

The most important thing is to never stop questioning.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.

Mathematics is the queen of the sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics.

When a philosopher says something that is true then it is trivial. When he says something that is not trivial then it is false.

I mean the word proof not in the sense of the lawyers, who set two half proofs equal to a whole one, but in the sense of a mathematician, where half a proof is zero, and it is demanded for proof that every doubt becomes impossible.

The enchanting charms of this sublime science reveal themselves in all their beauty only to those who have the courage to go deeply into it.

I confess that Fermat's Theorem as an isolated proposition has very little interest for me, because I could easily lay down a multitude of such propositions, which one could neither prove nor dispose of.

It may be true, that men, who are mere mathematicians, have certain specific shortcomings, but that is not the fault of mathematics, for it is equally true of every other exclusive occupation.
