“A false conclusion once arrived at and widely accepted is not easily dislodged and the less it is understood the more tenaciously it is held.”

Don’t always blindly follow guidance and step-by-step instructions; you might run into something interesting.

Every transfinite consistent multiplicity, that is, every transfinite set, must have a definite aleph as its cardinal number.

Use Campaign link tagging labels all for specifying slight differences in content for split testing.

My beautiful proof lies all in ruins.

There is no doubt that we cannot do without variable quantities in the sense of the potential infinite. But from this very fact the necessity of the actual infinite can be demonstrated.

This view of the infinite, which I consider to be the sole correct one, is held by only a few. While possibly I am the very first in history to take this position so explicitly, with all of its logical consequences, I know for sure that I shall not be the last!

A set is a Many that allows itself to be thought of as a One.

Had Mittag-Leffler had his way, I should have to wait until the year 1984, which to me seemed too great a demand!

Mathematics, in the development of its ideas, has only to take account of the immanent reality of its concepts and has absolutely no obligation to examine their transient reality.

The potential infinite means nothing other than an undetermined, variable quantity, always remaining finite, which has to assume values that either become smaller than any finite limit no matter how small, or greater than any finite limit no matter how great.

The essence of mathematics lies precisely in its freedom.

The fear of infinity is a form of myopia that destroys the possibility of seeing the actual infinite, even though it in its highest form has created and sustains us, and in its secondary transfinite forms occurs all around us and even inhabits our minds.

In mathematics the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it.

To ask the right question is harder than to answer it.

I realize that in this undertaking I place myself in a certain opposition to views widely held concerning the mathematical infinite and to opinions frequently defended on the nature of numbers.

Great innovation only happens when people aren’t afraid to do things differently.

Success is total self-acceptance.

Sometimes the scariest thing is to meet yourself. And after accept your real self.

You have to accept that most people are mad at their perception of you, which is distorted by layers of unhealthy and unaffected emotional wounds.

A strong leader accepts blame and gives the credit. A weak leader gives blame and accepts the credit.

Happiness can exist only in acceptance.

I have a hard time accepting diversity as a synonym for justice. Diversity is a corporate strategy.

Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.

Poverty makes a slave out of men. In order to eat he will accept work that gives no pleasure.
