Hi Ron_28,
Welcome to the forum!
Here are some quotations:-
The primary question was not what do we know, but how do we know it. – Aristotle
In mathematics the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it. - Georg Cantor
The charm [of mathematics] lies chiefly in the absolute certainty of its results; for that is what, beyond all mental treasures, the human intellect craves for. Let us be sure of something! More light, more light! - Lewis Carroll
As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained. - Arthur Cayley

It appears to me that if one wants to make progress in mathematics, one should study the masters and not the pupils. - Niels Henrik Abel.

Nothing is better than reading and gaining more and more knowledge - Stephen William Hawking.
