Página 143 - Your geometry states it as an axiom that a straight line is the shortest way from one point to another: and astronomy shows you that God has given motion only in curves.

Página 201 - If there are three or more parallel straight lines, and the intercepts made by them on any straight line that cuts them are equal, then the corresponding intercepts on any other straight line that cuts them are also equal.

Página 203 - The sum of the squares on two sides of a triangle is double the sum of the squares on half the base and on the line joining the vertex to the middle point of the base.
Página 67 - Min. I accept all that. Nie. We then introduce Euclid's definition of ' Parallels. It is of course now obvious that parallel Lines are equidistant, and that equidistant Lines are parallel. Min. Certainly. Nie. We can now, with the help of Euc. I. 27, prove I. 29, and thence I. 32. Min. No doubt. We see, then, that you propose, as a substitute for Euclid's i2th Axiom, a new Definition, two new Axioms, and what virtually amounts to five new Theorems. In point of ' axiomaticity ' I do not think there...
