I am writing my math PhD in Berlin (Germany) in English language.

I would like to cite a German quotation of a famous mathematician as a start of my first Chapter.

Should I quote it in the original language and make a footnote what it means in English, or should I freely translate it in English without footnote? Or is there simply no standard for this kind of fancy quotations?
