“You can’t teach anybody anything, only make them realize the answers are already inside them.”

I do not know what to say in a case so surprising, so unlooked for and so novel.

I entertain no doubts as to the truth of the transfinites, which I have recognized with God’s help.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

The Milky Way is nothing else but a mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters.

Holy Writ was intended to teach men how to go to Heaven not how the heavens go.

I give infinite thanks to God, who has been pleased to make me the first observer of marvelous things.

We must say that there are as many squares as there are numbers.

If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.

Measure what can be measured, and make measurable what cannot be measured.

Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty.

Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe.

There are those who reason well, but they are greatly outnumbered by those who reason badly.

Happiness is inside you, not with another person.

Absence is a house so vast that inside you will pass through its walls and hang pictures on the air.

Play inside, Play for the world.

If you ever dreamed of playing for millions around the world, now is your chance. Play inside, play for the world.

The change is from inner to outer. We start by dissolving our attitude not by altering outer conditions.

I used to blame everything outside of me for my lack of progress until I found that my problem was inside.

God is near you, is with you, is inside you.
