In this direction finality is not sought, for it is apparently unattainable. All that we can say is, in the words of a leading analyst, "sufficient unto the day is the rigor thereof."
Забележки за превода
E.T.Bell wrote that. I read this cite as is, without surrounding context from the same author.
I'm most interested in the part between quotes, because I think I understand the rest.

viric,

"sufficient unto the day is the rigor thereof"

Seems that what E.T.Bell meant is that a proof, in mathematics, is good enough if it rigorously correct in the patterns of today, even if these patterns will change in the future (as it has changed through history). I think that the author of the phrase that you wrote here is just saying that he do what is possible not what would be ideal.

Oh yes, it is from Matthew 6:34 (King James Bible). Where the word "evil" was exchanged by the word "rigor".

"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
