Quote by Richard Feyman

“The questions of the students are often the source of new research. They often ask profound questions that I’ve thought about at times and then given up on, so to speak, for a while. It wouldn’t do me any harm to think about them again and see if I can go any further now. The students may not be able to see the thing I want to answer, or the subtleties I want to think about, but they remind me of a problem by asking questions in the neighborhood of that problem. It’s not so easy to remind yourself of these things.”

“11-11-11 (Three Times in Row) Whenever GOD speaks something once, it is for Revelation. HE reveals HIS nature, HIS plan, HIS strategy or HIS will by declaring something once. Revelation is the same as Life-ing or birthing it. For the mouth of the LORD carries creative power, and when HE speaks, HE begins. Whenever GOD speaks something twice, it is for Covenant. When JESUS would speak to the people, HE would often say, "Verily, Verily" or "Surely, Surely". The LORD was teaching us a pattern of setting a matter in motion in the earth. When CHRIST was setting covenant into the hearts, minds and atmosphere of the people; HE repeated HIMself because truth needs agreement in the earth to take root and produce. Truth is truth if no one ever agrees, but truth cannot bring forth fruit in human lives until it finds agreement from an earth born believer. When GOD could find no one to agree so HE could manifest HIS own word, HE made covenant with HIMself. Whenever GOD speaks something in a pattern of three's, it is to reveal the Kingdom. GOD is seen when HE reveals HIS will seven times, but HE is understood (known) when HE shows HIS face (nature) three times. HE shows us HIMself as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. We see HIS Kingdom through Righteousness, Peace and Joy. We understand HIS dominion as HE who was, and Is, and Is to come...”

“Mathematicians call it “the arithmetic of congruences.” You can think of it as clock arithmetic. Temporarily replace the 12 on a clock face with 0. The 12 hours of the clock now read 0, 1, 2, 3, … up to 11. If the time is eight o’clock, and you add 9 hours, what do you get? Well, you get five o’clock. So in this arithmetic, 8 + 9 = 5; or, as mathematicians say, 8 + 9 ≡ 5 (mod 12), pronounced “eight plus nine is congruent to five, modulo twelve.”

“No part of mathematics is ever, in the long run, "useless." Most of number theory has very few "practical" applications. That does not reduce its importance, and if anything it enhances its fascination. No one can predict when what seems to be a most obscure theorem may suddenly be called upon to play some vital and hitherto unsuspected role.”
