Famous quotes containing the words common and/or law:
“The common breeds the common,
A lout begets a lout,
So when I take on half a score
I knock their heads about.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“I hope I may claim in the present work to have made it probable that the laws of arithmetic are analytic judgments and consequently a priori. Arithmetic thus becomes simply a development of logic, and every proposition of arithmetic a law of logic, albeit a derivative one. To apply arithmetic in the physical sciences is to bring logic to bear on observed facts; calculation becomes deduction.”
—Gottlob Frege (18481925)
