Arithmetic is where the content lies, and not logic but logic prompts certainty, and not arithmetic.
David Berlinski
Image
Method is the arithmetic of success.
Josh Billings
Image
eternity is a depth which no geometry can measure, no arithmetic calculate, no imagination conceive, no rhetoric describe.
Hannah More
Image
Good people know about both good and evil: bad people do not know about either.
C. S. Lewis
Image
Thus number may be said to rule the whole world of quantity, and the four rules of arithmetic may be regarded as the complete equipment of the mathematician.
James Clerk Maxwell
Image
To divide one's life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.
Clifton Fadiman
Image
Now, people ask me all the time how we got four surplus budgets in a row. What new ideas did we bring to Washington? I always give a one-word answer: Arithmetic.
William J. Clinton

I refer to the debt - the new red menace. This time consisting of ink.
Mitch Daniels

When I was at school, I was terrible at algebra and arithmetic, but I was always the best at English and literature. And acting, of course.
Joan Collins
Image
Some writers maintain arithmetic to be only the only sure guide in political economy for my part, I see so many detestable systems built upon arithmetical statements, that I am rather inclined to regard that science as the instrument of national calamity.
Jean-Baptiste Say
Image
Further, the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated.
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Image
The most unsuccessful three years in the education of cost estimators appears to be fifth-grade arithmetic.
Norman Ralph Augustine
Image
There is no division nor subtraction in the heart-arithmetic of a good mother. There are only addition and multiplication.
Bess Streeter Aldrich
Image
I have no great faith in political arithmetic, and I mean not to warrant the exactness of either of these computations.
Adam Smith
Image
No employment can be managed without arithmetic, no mechanical invention without geometry.
Benjamin Franklin
Image
Many who have never had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confound it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.
Sofia Kovalevskaya
Image
Manners are like zero in arithmetic. They may not be much in themselves, but they are capable of adding a great deal of value to everything else.
Freya Stark
Image
It is not the job of mathematicians... to do correct arithmetical operations. It is the job of bank accountants.
Samuil Shatunovsky
Image
In creating the world, God used arithmetic, geometry, and likewise astronomy.
Nicholas of Cusa
Image
Mathematics is the queen of the sciences.
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Image
Algebra is the metaphysics of arithmetic.
John Ray
Image
I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect. . . Geometry should be ranked, not with arithmetic, which is purely aprioristic, but with mechanics.
Carl Friedrich Gauss
Image
The analysis of variance is not a mathematical theorem, but rather a convenient method of arranging the arithmetic.
Ronald Fisher
Image
I happened to go to a school when I was a kid and that's all we did, pursue our own interests. It was kind of structured so you ended up knowing everything you were supposed to know, arithmetic, Latin, whatever it was. But almost always it was under your own initiative.
