Arithmetic, geometry, optics, geodesy, mechanics, and whatever others, all offer themselves in its service.

• One of the outstanding ironies of history is the utter disregard of ranks and titles in the final judgments men pass on each other.

• To my knowledge there are no good records that have been built by institutions run by committee. In almost all cases the great records are the product of individuals, perhaps working together, but always within a clearly defined framework. Their names are on the door and they are quite visible to the investing public. In reality outstanding records are made by dictators, hopefully benevolent, but nonetheless dictators.
