“It should be known that geometry enlightens the intellect and sets one's mind right.
All its proofs are very clear and orderly. It is hardly possible for errors to enter into
geometrical reasoning, because it is well arranged and orderly. Thus, the mind that
constantly applies itself to geometry is not likely to fall into error.”
