Quotations
"Mathematicians stand on each other's shoulders." -- Carl Friedrich Gauss
"It must be borne in mind that the tragedy in life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for." -- Benjamin E. Mays
