William Bennett

Nations are divided, but we citizens need not be.

Ian Goldin

In mathematical analysis we call x the undetermined part of line a: the rest we don't call y, as we do in common life, but a-x. Hence mathematical language has great advantages over the common language.

Georg C. Lichtenberg
