  • 先有偉大的學業，纔能有偉大的事業。

  • 從人類文化的廣大對象中，明瞭你的義務與責任；從自己個性稟賦中，發現你興趣與才能。

  • 每一個理想的人物，其自身即代表一門完整的學問。每一門理想的學問，其內即形成一理想的人格。

Wikipedia on Arthur Schopenhauer:

— He is commonly known for having espoused a sort of philosophical pessimism that saw life as being essentially evil, futile, and full of suffering.

— However, upon closer inspection, in accordance with Eastern thought, especially that of Hinduism and Buddhism, he saw salvation, deliverance, or escape from suffering in aesthetic contemplation, sympathy for others, and ascetic living.

Alfred Tarski

Posted on by

Along with Aristotle, Gottlob Frege, and Kurt Godel, Tarski is generally considered one of the four greatest logicians of all time (Vaught 1986). Of these four, he was the best mathematician and the most prolific author.

…

Hence between 1923 and his departure for the United States in 1939, Tarski not only wrote several textbooks and many papers, a number of them ground-breaking, but did so while supporting himself primarily by teaching high-school mathematics.
