"The study of mathematics is apt to commence in disappointment... We are told that by its aid the stars are weighed and the billions of molecules in a drop of water are counted. Yet, like the ghost of Hamlet's father, this great science eludes the efforts of our mental weapons to grasp it."

"Sweets to the sweet."

"What's in a name, anyway? That which we call a nose by any other name would still smell."

"What needs my Shakespeare for his honoured bones,The labor of an age in pilèd stones,Or that his hallowed relics should be hidUnder a star-y-pointing pyramid?Dear son of memory, great heir of fame,What need'st thou such weak witness of thy name?"

"True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings."

"I take thee at thy word:Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized;Henceforth I never will be Romeo."
