"My faith also teaches me that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God. .. As one moves about his daily work he influences the lives of his brothers. It is his obligation to be certain therefore that his influence contributes always to the salvation of these souls."

"In whatever corner of the world they may find themselves, mathematicians, like all scientists, are bonded together by a universal desire to understand life. Cooperation is natural, it is easy, it is necessary in the all-out effort of science to establish truth […] Science is international rather than national. The scientific exploration of the universe is the right of all men."

"Too many teachers of mathematics distribute their time in exactly the reverse order. Very little time is spent on establishing the truth, but there is great effort to fix it by repetition or use over and over"

"Mathematics is no more the art of reckoning and computation than architecture is the art of making bricks, no more than painting is the art of mixing colors."
