“The deva asked,the best physician is the Buddha.”

“No one saves us but ourselves, By ourselves become we pure.”

“The truth is that other systems of geometry are possible, yet after all, these other systems are not spaces but other methods of space measurements.

“Pythagoras says that number is the origin of all things, and certainly the law of number is the key that unlocks the secrets of the universe. But the law of number possesses an immanent order, which is at first sight mystifying, but on a more intimate acquaintance we easily understand it to be intrinsically necessary; and this law of number explains the wondrous consistency of the laws of nature.”

“There is no prophet which preaches the superpersonal God more plainly than mathematics.”

“There is no science which teaches the harmonies of nature more clearly than mathematics.”
