But the science of operations, as derived from mathematics more especially, is a science of itself, and has its own abstract truth and value just as logic has its own peculiar truth and value, independently of the subjects to which we may apply its reasonings and processes.
Ada Lovelace
Image
Logic leaves us no choice. In that sense, math always involves both invention and discovery: we invent the concepts but discover their consequences. … in mathematics our freedom lies in the questions we ask – and in how we pursue them – but not in the answers awaiting us.
Steven Strogatz
Image
In my own view, some advice about what should be known, about what technical education should be acquired, about the intense motivation needed to succeed, and about the carelessness and inclination toward bias that must be avoided is far more useful than all the rules and warnings of theoretical logic.
Santiago Ramon y Cajal
Image
Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.
Leonard Nimoy
Image
Pure logic could never lead us to anything but tautologies it can create nothing new not from it alone can any science issue.
Henri Poincare
Image
But with man the case is otherwise, in that when logic leads to any humiliating conclusion, the sole effect is to discredit logic.
James Branch Cabell
Image
My personal belief is that because technology and economic logic has gotten so sophisticated, cruelties can be perpetrated now that would have been unimaginable two or three hundred years ago.
David Foster Wallace
Image
His was not a small mind bothered by logic and consistency.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
Writing is more than just the making of a series of comprehensible statements: it is the gathering in of connotations the harvesting of them, like blackberries in a good season, ripe and heavy, snatched from among the thorns of logic.
Fay Weldon
Image
Life is an interpretation of a series of facts, and that interpretation is really what life is about. So the division between non-fiction and fiction has a certain logic, but it's a very limited one. And by and large, it isn't helpful.
Yann Martel
Image
Next to the intellectual stimulation of chess, the educational value is of great importance. Chess teaches logic, imagination, self-discipline, and determination.
Garry Kasparov
Image
Calculators can only calculate - they cannot do mathematics.
John A. Van de Walle
Image
When dealing with people, let us remember that we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. ...Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.
Dale Carnegie
Image
A trial is still an ordeal by battle. For the broadsword there is the weight of evidence for the battle-ax the force of logic for the sharp spear, the blazing gleam of truth for the rapier, the quick and flashing knife of wit.
Lloyd Paul Stryker
Image
I think part of the appeal of mathematical logic is that the formulas look mysterious - you write backward Es!
Hilary Putnam
Image
If there are more than two sexes, then so be it and, of course, the assumption that there are two helps shape, as many have argued, the binary logic that underpins much of the history of western philosophy.
Alison Assiter
Image
Only through religion can logic develop into philosophy, only from this source stems that which makes philosophy more than science. And without religion we will have only novels, or the triviality today called belles lettres instead of an eternally rich and infinite poetry.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Image
Mathematicians create by acts of insights and intuition. Logic then sanctions the conquests of intuition.
Morris Kline
Image
Communism is the final logic of the dehumanization of man. The industrial civilization of the Western world has no intent to destroy man's freedom or to deny his personality. But Communism does. Denying God, it reduces man to a robot.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
For me, who only desire to become wise, not more learned or eloquent, these logical or Aristotelian dispositions of parts are of no use.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
Man associates ideas not according to logic or verifiable exactitude, but according to his pleasure and interests. It is for this reason that most truths are nothing but prejudices.
Remy de Gourmont
Image
Aristotle can be regarded as the father of logic. But his logic is too scholastic, full of subtleties, and fundamentally has not been of much value to the human understanding. It is a dialectic and an organon for the art of disputation.
Immanuel Kant
Image
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
Rabindranath Tagore
Image
The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.
