Martin Luther, a German religious reformer said that one (not to be confused with Martin Luther King)!\n\nWonder why mathematics makes people sad?  Oh well...not me though...I love math!

Here are some good ones, I'm not sure which "famous quote" you mean.\n\n\nWit is educated insolence.\n\nHe who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.\n\nObstinate people can be divded into the opinionated, the ignorant, and the boorish.\n\nThe roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.\n\nAnyone can become angry - that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way; this is not easy.

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception."...The Mysterious Stranger\n\n-Mark Twain

I was all set to try to come up with a funny answer that was also informative or maybe even profound, when I read "tesfa maryam" and his assertion that bipolar disorder was akin to mental retardation.  Now I'm just going to be sick.  It's obvious that someone that intelligent must be a rocket scientist, engineer, attorney, AND psychiatrist, so I'm just sick that I'm finding out that I'm retarded.

Albert Einstein:\n\n\nThe whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.\n\n\nReality is the real business of physics.\n\n\nThe creative scientist studies nature with the rapt gaze of the lover, and is guided as often by aesthetics as by rational considerations in guessing how nature works.\n\n\nHere arises a puzzle that has disturbed scientists of all periods. How is it possible that mathematics, a product of human thought that is independent of experience, fits so excellently the objects of physical reality? Can human reason without experience discover by pure thinking properties of real things?\n\n\nThe most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.\n\n\nScience without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.\n\n\nWhoever has undergone the intense experience of successful advances made [in science] is moved by the profound reverence for the rationality made manifest in science.\n\n\nThat deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.\n\n\nThe only way to escape the personal corruption of praise is to go on working. One is tempted to stop and listen to it. The only thing is to turn away and go on working. Work. There is nothing else.\n\n\nOne ought to be ashamed to make use of the wonders of science embodied in a radio set, while appreciating them as little as a cow appreciates the botanical marvels in the plant she munches. \n\n\nWe believe in the possibility of a theory which is able to give a complete description of reality, the laws of which establish relations between the things themselves and not merely between their probabilities ... God does not play dice.\n\n\nInsofar as mathematics is about reality, it is not certain, and insofar as it is certain, it is not about reality.\n\n\nThe most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.\n\n\nHave holy curiosity.\n\n\nGravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love.\n\n\nWhere the world ceases to be the scene of our personal hopes and wishes, where we face it as free beings admiring, asking and observing, there we enter the realm of Art and Science.\n\n\nWatch the stars, and from them learn. To the Master's honor all must turn, each in its track, without a sound, forever tracing Newton's ground.\n\n\nThings should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler.\n\n\nSometimes one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.\n\n\nCommon sense is a collection of prejudices acquired by age 18.\n\n\nProblems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.\n\n\nIf I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my dreams in music. I see my life in terms of music... I get most joy in life out of music.\n\n\nI am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.\n\n\nThe most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science \n\n\nThe release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one ... I do not believe that civilization will be wiled out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two thirds of the people of the Earth will be killed.\n\n\nPerfection of means and confusion of ends seems to characterize our age.\n\n\nThe important thing is not to stop questioning. \n\n\nThe process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.\n\n\nIf my theory of relativity is proven successful, Germany will claim me as a German ... should my theory prove untrue ... Germany will declare tha

The expression is not, as widely believed, part of the Hippocratic oath, nor is it exactly a direct quote from Hippocrates. A more exact quote may be, "Declare the past, diagnose the present, foretell the future; practice these acts. As to diseases, make a habit of two things — to help, or at least to do no harm." The idea is that a doctor should be sure that whatever he is doing for a patient doesn't make things worse. Sensible advice.

I assume you are speaking of the genius John Stuart Mill.\nAs a child he and his father were strongly influenced by the utilitarianism of Bentham with his moral arithmetic. Bentham taught that the greatest good was the greatest happiness for the greatest number. If this involved pleasures that Victorians thought were immoral, this had to be weighed against the happiness that it produced. Bentham was very practical and thought that morality should also be practical, not based on commands from God or from some other absolute source.\nIn addition, Mill taught that people should feel free to do anything they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.\nThis can be expressed succinctly as, "And you harm none, do as you will." This too sought to ground moral decisions in practicalities rather than abstractions.\nIn addition to this, Mill was an ardent feminist at a time when hardly anyone outside U.S. feminist circles was. When he got married he wrote his own vows, excplicity stating that he had no power over his wife. Mill was one cool guy.

As a liberal minister, I think God is a figurative term. When nature hurts us, we(the God) get mad . We (God) assume that we(God) are punishing ourselves because of our own perceived shortcomings.

I'm not familiar with the quote, but he is right in the sense that Christianity (at least in its current form) is not the same religion founded by Jesus.  Jesus was truly a wise man.  Personally, I think Thomas Jefferson was truly a wise man and very much doubt he is in hell (though I don't believe in hell anyway).

Plato quoted it:\n\n"Remember how in that communion only, beholding beauty with the eye of the mind, he will be enabled to bring forth, not images of beauty, but realities (for he has hold not of an image but of a reality), and bringing forth and nourishing true virtue to become the friend of God and be immortal, if mortal man may."\n\nN.B.: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
