Any one who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin.

All stable processes we shall predict. All unstable processes we shall control.

Truth is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations.

The emphasis on mathematical methods seems to be shifted more towards combinatorics and set theory - and away from the algorithm of differential equations which dominates mathematical physics.

The total subject of mathematics is clearly too broad for any of us. I do not think that any mathematician since Gauss has covered it uniformly and fully; even Hilbert did not and all of us are of considerably lesser width quite apart from the question of depth than Hilbert.

If you tell me precisely what it is a machine cannot do, then I can always make a machine which will do just that.
