David Eugene Smith over de bondigheid van wiskunde

One merit of mathematics few will deny: it says more in fewer words than any other science. The formula, eiπ = -1 expressed a world of thought, of truth, of poetry, and of the religious spirit “God eternally geometrizes.”

David Eugene Smith, in Mathematical Maxims and Minims, N. Rose (ed.) (1988)
