The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.
The past is not a burden but a foundation upon which we build our future.
The pursuit of mathematical truth is a pursuit of beauty, elegance, and simplicity.
