quotes - repository

This post is related to patience. I selected the following nice german proverb to close today's post: Patience is a bitter plant but it has sweet fruit.

I enjoy very much this from David Hilbert: Physics is much too hard for physicists.

Today I quote Noam Chomsky: "Tough love" is just the right phrase: love for the rich and privileged, tough for everyone else.

A very nice quote from Lewis Mumford: I'm a pessimist about probabilities; I'm an optimist about possibilities.

Another quote from Lewis Mumford: Unfortunately, once an economy is geared to expansion, the means rapidly turn into an end and "the going becomes the goal." 


I am optimistic because, among other things, I have no choice. Claudine Schneider once said "A Healthy Ecology is the Basis for a Healthy Economy". Richard Stallman, the father of the GNU beast: "Paying is not wrong, and being paid is not wrong. Trampling other people’s freedom and community is wrong, so the free software movement aims to put an end to it, at least in the area of software".

Today I quote Linus Pauling who according to Wikipedia "ranks among the most important scientists in any field of the 20th century": If you want to have good ideas you must have many ideas. Most of them will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.

relabelling

relabelling and groups of permutations


A nice cite from Eric Bell concerning groups is: Wherever groups disclosed themselves, or could be introduced, simplicity crystallized out of comparative chaos.
