"I always like a dog so long as he isn't spelled backward."
"To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless."
"The difference between the poet and the mathematician is that the poet tries to get his head into the heavens while the mathematician tries to get the heavens into his head."
"No man who worships education has got the best out of education... Without a gentle contempt for education no man's education is complete."
