More quotes by Galileo Galilei
Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.
Galileo Galilei
The book of nature is written in the language of mathematics.
Galileo Galilei
They seemed to forget that the increase of known truths stimulates the investigation, establishment and growth of the arts not their dimination or destruction.
Galileo Galilei
It is surely harmful to souls to make it a heresy to believe what is proved.
Galileo Galilei
It is necessary for the Bible, in order to be accommodated to the understanding of every man, to speak many things which appear to differ from the absolute truth so far as the bare meaning of the words is concerned.
Galileo Galilei
The Milky Way is nothing else but a mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters.
Galileo Galilei
I am certainly interested in a tribunal in which, for having used my reason, I was deemed little less than a heretic. Who knows but men will reduce me from the profession of a philosopher to that of historian of the Inquisition!
Galileo Galilei
Philosophy itself cannot but benefit from our disputes, for if our conceptions prove true, new achievements will be made if false, their refutation will further confirm the original doctrines.
Galileo Galilei
And believe me, if I were again beginning my studies, I should follow the advice of Plato and start with the mathematical sciences, which proceed very cautiously and admit nothing as established until it has been rigorously demonstrated.
Galileo Galilei
I believe that the intention of Holy Writ was to persuade men of the truths necessary to salvation such as neither science nor other means could render credible, but only the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Galileo Galilei
One can understand nature only when one has learned the language and the signs in which it speaks to us but this language is mathematics and these signs are methematical figures.
Galileo Galilei
By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.
Galileo Galilei
See now the power of truth.
Galileo Galilei
Nature is written in mathematical language.
Galileo Galilei
Some, merely to contradict what I had said, did not scruple to cast doubt upon things they had seen with their own eyes again and again.
Galileo Galilei
There are those who reason well, but they are greatly outnumbered by those who reason badly.
Galileo Galilei
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
Galileo Galilei
Surely it is a great thing to increase the numerous host of fixed stars previously visible to the unaided vision, adding countless more which have never before been seen, exposing these plainly to the eye in numbers ten times exceeding the old and familiar stars.
Galileo Galilei
You cannot teach a person something he does not already know, you can only bring what he does know to his awareness.
Galileo Galilei
In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
Galileo Galilei
