Quote by Albert Einstein

Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the author's belief in the enduring significance of mathematical equations compared to the transient nature of politics. They suggests that while it is necessary to devote time to both, equations hold greater value as they maintain their relevance even as time advances. Politics, on the other hand, are portrayed as temporary and subject to changing circumstances. By emphasizing the eternal nature of equations, the author hints at their belief in the universal truth and longevity of mathematical principles.

That bodies should be lent us, while they can afford us plea

That bodies should be lent us, while they can afford us pleasure, assist us in acquiring knowledge, or doing good to our fellow creatures, is a kind and benevolent act of God - when they become unfit for these purposes and afford us pain instead of pleasure-instead of an aid, become an encumbrance and answer none of the intentions for which they were given, it is equally kind and benevolent that a way is provided by which we may get rid of them. Death is that way.
