“If you are receptive and humble, mathematics will lead you by the hand.”
Jste-li vnímaví a pokorní, matematika vás povede za ruku.

Paul Dirac (1902–1984) theoretical physicist

As quoted in The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom (2009) by Graham Farmelo, p. 435
Kontext: If you are receptive and humble, mathematics will lead you by the hand. Again and again, when I have been at a loss how to proceed, I have just had to wait until I have felt the mathematics led me by the hand. It has led me along an unexpected path, a path where new vistas open up, a path leading to new territory, where one can set up a base of operations, from which one can survey the surroundings and plan future progress.

“Everything one does in life, even love, occurs in an express train racing toward death. To smoke opium is to get out of the train while it is still moving. It is to concern oneself with something other than life or death.”
Vše, co člověk v životě dělá, a to včetně lásky, dělá v rychlíku, který se řítí ke smrti. Kouřit opium znamená tento rychlík opustit za jízdy; znamená to věnovat se něčemu jinému než životu: smrti.

Kontext: Human life is basically a comedy. Even its tragedies often seem comic to the spectator, and not infrequently they actually have comic touches to the victim.

Kontext: A flower is relatively small. Everyone has many associations with a flower - the idea of flowers. You put out your hand to touch the flower — lean forward to smell it — maybe touch it with your lips almost without thinking — or give it to someone to please them. Still — in a way — nobody sees a flower — really — it is so small — we haven't time — and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time... So I said to myself — I'll paint what I see — what the flower is to me but I'll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it — I will make even busy New-Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers... Well — I made you take time to look at what I saw and when you took time to really notice my flower, you hung all your own associations with flowers on my flower and you write about my flower as if I think and see what you think and see of the flower — and I don't.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.”
Jsme to, co opakovaně děláme. Dokonalost tedy není čin, ale zvyk.

Will Durant kniha The Story of Philosophy

Varianta: We are what we repeatedly do. Greatness then, is not an act, but a habit
Zdroj: The Story of Philosophy (1926), p. 87. The quoted phrases within the quotation are from the Nicomachean Ethics, Book II, 4; Book I, 7.
Kontext: Excellence is an art won by training and habituation: we do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have these because we have acted rightly; 'these virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions'; we are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit: 'the good of man is a working of the soul in the way of excellence in a complete life... for as it is not one swallow or one fine day that makes a spring, so it is not one day or a short time that makes a man blessed and happy'.

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.”
Cokoli slyšíme, je názor, nikoli fakt. Cokoli vidíme, je úhel pohledu, nikoli pravda.
