Silvanus P. Thompson quotes
-
“What one fool can do another can.”
-- Silvanus P. ThompsonSource : Silvanus P. Thompson (1914). “Calculus Made Easy: Differential Calculus and the Integral Calculus”

“Considering how many fools can calculate, it is surprising that it should be thought either a difficult or a tedious task for any other fool to learn how to master the same tricks... Being myself a remarkably stupid fellow, I have had to unteach myself the difficulties, and now beg to present to my fellow fools the parts that are not hard. Master these thoroughly, and the rest will follow. What one fool can do, another can.”
