Carl Friedrich Gauss

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

Further, the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated.

Mathematicians stand on each other's shoulders.

I have had my results for a long time: but I do not yet know how I am to arrive at them.

Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes.

It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment.

Mathematics is the queen of the sciences.
