I happen to think that Jesus was the greatest hero of all time. I don't think you could invent that kind of a hero. He had it all - everything that the human spirit could yearn for.

He taught that you must love your neighbor whether he's a crook, a beggar, whether he's rich or poor.

In this way, it appears to me, geometry originated, which passed thence to Hellas.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
