“Those who are enamoured of practice without science are like a pilot who goes into a ship without rudder or compass and never has any certainty of where he is going. Practice should always be based upon a sound knowledge of theory.”
“He who does not understand the supreme certainty of mathematics is wallowing in confusion.”
“Slender certainty is better than portentous falsehood.”
