Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.

[The universe] cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Opere Il Saggiatore p. 171.
Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so. Quoted in H. Weyl "Mathematics and the Laws of Nature"
