  Euler had 13 children; 8 of which died leaving 5 survivors.<br><br>Even his kids followed the Fibonacci series. &nbsp;That&apos;s mathematical devotion.

  Euler was so far ahead of his time that I can&apos;t imagine math without his contributions. We&apos;d still be in the dark ages.

  It&apos;s widely considered a good move that Euler accepted the job offer from Frederick the Great and not the other job offer from Gary the Slightly Above Average.

  Voltaire mocking Euler is like a small annoying dog yipping at a great hound.

  Euler + Gauss = We are all Slackers, regardless of our fields!

  Leonhard Euler was the most prolific mathematician that ever lived; it is claimed that upon setting his eyes on a theorem it was just a matter of time before it was proved. On his death bed Euler was surrounded by his associates, students and devotees lamenting the great man’s decline and bemoaning his misfortune. In a moment the master sat bolt upright and pronounced, “I am going to die” He promptly lay down limply on his bed and died… <br><br>In amongst the cries of anguish, shock and dismay from his associates one of his students was irreverently and rather inappropriately heard saying, “Another Euler proposition has been proved true.”

  St Petersburg on publishing Euler&apos;s work well after his death: It&apos;s like printing my own money!
