I work with a lot of mathematicians, and one thing I notice about them is that they are not particularly fast with numbers in fact some of them are rather slow. This is not a bad thing they are slow because they think deeply and carefully about mathematics.

Both children and adults like me who live with type 1 diabetes need to be mathematicians, physicians, personal trainers, and dietitians all rolled into one.
Mary Tyler Moore

The calendar is intolerable to all wisdom, the horror of all astronomy, and a laughing stock from a mathematician's point of view.
Roger Bacon
Image
[A mathematician is a] scientist who can figure out anything except such simple things as squaring the circle and trisecting an angle.
Evan Esar

By peace we mean the capacity to transform conflicts with empathy, without violence, and creatively- a never-ending process
Johan Galtung

If anything runs deeper than a mathematician’s love of variables, it’s a scientist’s love of constants.
Sam Kean

Everybody in mathematics had given up for 100 years or 200 years the idea that you could from pictures, from looking at pictures, find new ideas. That was the case long ago in the Middle Ages, in the Renaissance, in later periods, but then mathematicians had become very abstract.
Benoit Mandelbrot

Mathematics is a more powerful instrument of knowledge than any other that has been bequeathed to us by human agency.
Rene Descartes
Image
Mathematicians are a bit like the laconic Vermonter who, when asked if he's lived in the state his whole life, replies, Not yet.
John Allen Paulos

Mathematicians come to the solution of a problem by the simple arrangement of the data, and reducing the reasoning to such simple operations, to judgments so brief, that they never lose sight of the evidence that serves as their guide.
Antoine Lavoisier
Image
The mathematicians are the priests of the modern world.
Bill Gaede

Now, as Mandelbrot points out, ... Nature has played a joke on the mathematicians. The 19th-century mathematicians may not have been lacking in imagination, but Nature was not. The same pathological structures that the mathematicians invented to break loose from 19th-century naturalism turn out to be inherent in familiar objects all around us.
Freeman Dyson

Nobody tells young writers it's okay if you're not very good, you'll get better. So I just thought I'm not very good, so I should try to do every other thing besides writing. That's how I ended up being a hitchhiker, a world traveler, and a mathematician.

Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. Immortality may be a silly word, but probably a mathematician has the best chance of whatever it may mean.
G. H. Hardy

As far as I know, only a small minority of mathematicians, even of those with Platonist views, accept the idea that there may be mathematical facts which are true but unknowable.
