Famous quotes containing the word calculations:
“Heavens calculations dont follow mans calculations.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Now, since our condition accommodates things to itself, and transforms them according to itself, we no longer know things in their reality; for nothing comes to us that is not altered and falsified by our Senses. When the compass, the square, and the rule are untrue, all the calculations drawn from them, all the buildings erected by their measure, are of necessity also defective and out of plumb. The uncertainty of our senses renders uncertain everything that they produce.”
—Michel de Montaigne (15331592)
“The vulgar call good fortune that which really is produced by the calculations of genius.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
