Henri Poincaré
“Is is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover.”
Henri Poincaré

Henri Poincaré
“To doubt everything and to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; each saves us from thinking.”
Henri Poincaré, The Foundations of Science: Science and Hypothesis, The Value of Science, Science and Method

Henri Poincaré
The scientist does not study nature because it is useful to do so. He studies it because he takes pleasure in it, and he takes pleasure in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful it would not be worth knowing, and life would not be worth living. I am not speaking, of course, of the beauty which strikes the senses, of the beauty of qualities and appearances. I am far from despising this, but it has nothing to do with science. What I mean is that more intimate beauty which comes from the harmonious order of its parts, and which a pure intelligence can grasp.”
Henri Poincaré, Science and Method

Mark Twain
“Education: the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.”
Mark Twain

John von Neumann
“If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.”
John von Neumann
