The following remark is attributed to Leopold Kronecker in at least two places.
Das Aufsuchen der Invarianten ist eine sch\"{o}ne, ja sogar die sch\"{o}nste Aufgabe der Mathematik, aber noch mehr, es ist sogar ihre einzige Aufgabe. Und auch damit ist es noch nicht genug:\ es ist einzige Aufgaben aller Wissenschaften \"{u}berhaupt.
Neither site gives any publication, however, as the textual source of the remark. Can anyone say specifically whence the remark comes?
R. Gregory Taylor
