"I think experience will teach you a combination of liberalism and conservatism. We have to be progressive and at the same time we have to retain values. We have to hold onto the past as we explore the future."
"Experience everything but cling to what is right."
"Experience is something you have to go through to tell it details."
"Life is an experimental field. You can explore by faith."
"Pathology can indeed evoke experiences of Absolute Godliness, but not all God experiences are caused by pathology. They can also occur due to disturbance in the geomagnetic field of our planet, consumption of psychedelics, excruciatingly extreme level of stress during a near- death situation, or ultimately through a natural and healthy procedure of meditation or/and prayer."
"Experience, derived from scientific investigation, led to all the scientific literature in history. Likewise, experience, derived from religious transcendence, led to all the religious scriptures in history. It's never the other way around."
"Observing and commenting, it is a piece of cake.Experiencing and sharing, that is a piece of work."
"A man who is not afraid of the sea will soon be drowned, he said, for he will be going out on a day he shouldn't. But we do be afraid of the sea, and we do only be drownded now and again."
"When we observe how some people know how to manage their experiences--their insignificant, everyday experiences--so that they become an arable soil that bears fruit three times a year, while others--and how many there are!--are driven through surging waves of destiny, the most multifarious currents of the times and the nations, and yet always remain on top, bobbing like a cork, then we are in the end tempted to divide mankind into a minority (a minimality) of those who know how to make much of little, and a majority of those who know how to make little of much."

"The longer mathematics lives the more abstract - and therefore, possibly also the more practical - it becomes."
"The mistakes and unresolved difficulties of the past in mathematics have always been the opportunities of its future."
"Guided only by their feeling for symmetry, simplicity, and generality, and an indefinable sense of the fitness of things, creative mathematicians now, as in the past, are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness."
"It is the perennial youthfulness of mathematics itself which marks it off with a disconcerting immortality from the other sciences."
"I have always hated machinery, and the only machine I ever understood was a wheelbarrow, and that but imperfectly."
"Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions."
"Out of fifty mathematical papers presented in brief at such a meeting, it is a rare mathematician indeed who really understands what more than half a dozen are about."
