What are some quotes from Nicolas Copernicus?

* "For I am not so enamored of my own opinions that I disregard what others may think of them."

* "Every observed change of place is caused by a motion of either the observed object or the observer or, of course, by an unequal displacement of each."

* "Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe. All this is suggested by the systematic procession of events and the harmony of the whole Universe, if only we face the facts, as they say, 'with both eyes open'."

* "I am aware that a philosopher's ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavour to seek the truth in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God." * "As soon as certain people learn that … I attribute certain motions to the terrestrial globe, they will immediately shout to have me and my opinion hooted off the stage."

* "Seek the truth in all things, in so far as God has granted that to human reason." * "To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge."

* "Every observed change of place is caused by a motion of either the observed object or the observer or, of course, by an unequal displacement of each."

* "I shall now recall to mind that the motion of the heavenly bodies is circular, since the motion appropriate to a sphere is rotation in a circle."

* "Mathematics is written for mathematicians" * "If there be some who, though ignorant of all mathematics... dare to reprove this work, because of some passage of Scripture, which they have miserably warped to their purpose, I regaurd them not, and even despise their rash judgement."

What did Euler do and please make it easy to understand?

Euler made important discoveries in fields as diverse as infinitesimal calculus and graph theory. He also introduced much of the modern mathematical terminology and notation, particularly for mathematical analysis, such as the notion of a mathematical function. He is also renowned for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, and astronomy.

While I believe the preceding paragraph to be easy to understand, most of Euler's work is not.
