Conquer Yourself Rather Than The

We Never Understand A Thing So Well,and Make It Our Own, As When We Have Discovered It For Ourselves.

As I Considered The Matter Carefully It Gradually Came To Light That All Those Matters Only Were Referred To Mathematics In Which Order And Measurements Are Investigated, And That It Makes No Difference Whether It Be In Numbers, Figures, Stars, Sounds Or Any Other Object That The Question Of Measurement Arises. I Saw Consequently That There Must Be Some General Science To Explain That Element As A Whole Which Gives Rise To Problems About Order And Measurement, Restricted As These Are To No Special Subject Matter. This, I Perceived Was Called 'universal Mathematics'.

To Live Without Philosophizing Is In Truth The Same As Keeping The Eyes Closed Without Attempting To Open Them.

Science Is Practical Philosophy.

The Only Secure Knowledge Is That I Exist.
