Quote by Rene Descartes

Perfect numbers like perfect men are very rare.

Perfect numbers like perfect men are very rare.

Summary

This quote suggests that both perfect numbers and perfect men are extremely uncommon. In mathematics, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper divisors. Similarly, "perfect men" refer to individuals who possess rare qualities such as high moral standards, virtues, and excellence in various aspects of life. By comparing the rarity of these two concepts, the quote underscores that truly perfect or ideal instances are exceptionally scarce and difficult to find in both the realms of mathematics and humanity.
