Spend not where you may save; spare not where you must spend.

This is a tricky domain because, unlike simple arithmetic, to solve a calculus problem - and in particular to perform integration - you have to be smart about which integration technique should be used: integration by partial fractions, integration by parts, and so on.

The analysis of variance is not a mathematical theorem, but rather a convenient method of arranging the arithmetic.

God does arithmetic.

Algebra is the metaphysics of arithmetic.

The numbers may be said to rule the whole world of quantity, and the four rules of arithmetic may be regarded as the complete equipment of the mathematician.

He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.

We have the most crude accounting tools. It's tragic because our accounts and our national arithmetic doesn't tell us the things that we need to know.

Crystals grew inside rock like arithmetic flowers. They lengthened and spread, added plane to plane in an awed and perfect obedience to an absolute geometry that even stones - maybe only the stones - understood.

The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself.

What would life be without arithmetic, but a scene of horrors?

I was always looking ahead. I used to do all kinds of things for entertainment. When I was young, we had no radio, no TV. We were 30 miles from the public library, out in the sticks in Western Kansas, and so I'd do arithmetic exercises.

If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability.

The problem of distinguishing prime numbers from composite numbers and of resolving the latter into their prime factors is known to be one of the most important and useful in arithmetic.

I refer, of course, to the debts our nation has amassed for itself over decades of indulgence. It is the new Red Menace, this time consisting of ink. We can debate its origins endlessly and search for villains on ideological grounds, but the reality is pure arithmetic.

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.

Music is the arithmetic of sounds as optics is the geometry of light.

Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.

Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they're worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don't teach you anything.

The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.

Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky - or the answer is wrong and you have to start over and try again and see how it comes out this time.

Logic works, metaphysics contemplates.

The verbal interpretation, on the other hand, i.e. the metaphysics of quantum physics, is on far less solid ground. In fact, in more than forty years physicists have not been able to provide a clear metaphysical model.

A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.

I teach metaphysics and pastor a church.

Metaphysics means nothing but an unusually obstinate effort to think clearly.

I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics, that is my physics.

Rationalism and Newtonian science has lured us into dark woods, but a new metaphysics can rescue us.

When he to whom one speaks does not understand, and he who speaks himself does not understand, that is metaphysics.

It is right that we be concerned with the scientific probity of metaphysics.

However, the sciences of society and of history retained their old subservient relation to metaphysics for a long time - well into the eighteenth century.

Metaphysics is a restaurant where they give you a thirty thousand page menu, and no food.
