Logic
"For there is nothing either good or bad, thinking makes it so."
- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Hamlet, II.ii
"Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong."
- Ayn Rand (1905-1982)
"I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts."
- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), Sherlock Holmes
"We must have strong minds, ready to accept facts as they are."
- Harry S Truman (1884-1972)
"317 is a prime, not because we think so, or because our minds are shaped in one way rather than another, but because it is so, because mathematical reality is built that way."
- Godfrey Hardy (1877-1947)
"Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems."
- Rene Descartes (1596-1650), Discours de la Methode
"If two things don’t fit, but you believe both of them, thinking that somewhere, hidden, there must be a third thing that connects them, that’s credulity."
- Umberto Eco (1929-), Foucalt's Pendulum
"A problem well stated is a problem half solved."
- Charles Franklin Kettering (1876-1958)
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944)
"Plurality is not to be posited without necessity."
- William of Ockham (?-1349)
"Victory goes to the player who makes the next-to-last mistake."
- Savielly Grigorievitch Tartakower (1887-1956), Chessmaster
