More quotes by 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 abjure with a sincere heart and unfeigned faith, I curse and detest the said errors and heresies, and generally all and every error and sect contrary to the Holy Catholic Church.
Galileo Galilei
In time you may discover everything that can be discovered, and still your progress will only be progress away from humanity. The distance between you and them can one day become so great that your joyous cry over some new gain could be answered by an universal shriek of horror.
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
Showing a greater fondness for their own opinions than for truth, they sought to deny and disprove the new things which, if they had cared to look for themselves, their own senses would have demonstrated to them.
Galileo Galilei
It is very pious to say and prudent to affirm that the holy Bible can never speak untruth -- whenever its true meaning is understood. But I believe nobody will deny that it is often very abstruse, and may say things which are quite different from wha.
Galileo Galilei
There are those who reason well, but they are greatly outnumbered by those who reason badly.
Galileo Galilei
They know that it is human nature to take up causes whereby a man may oppress his neighbor, no matter how unjustly. ... Hence they have had no trouble in finding men who would preach the damnability and heresy of the new doctrine from the very pulpit.
Galileo Galilei
It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the Moon.
Galileo Galilei
I truly believe the book of philosophy to be that which stands perpetually open before our eyes, though since it is written in characters different from those of our alphabet it cannot be read by everyone.
Galileo Galilei
The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
Galileo Galilei
To be humane, we must ever be ready to pronounce that wise, ingenious and modest statement 'I do not know'.
Galileo Galilei
I do not know what to say in a case so surprising, so unlooked for and so novel.
Galileo Galilei
If experiments are performed thousands of times at all seasons and in every place without once producing the effects mentioned by your philosophers, poets, and historians, this will mean nothing and we must believe their words rather than our own eyes?
Galileo Galilei
Wine is sunlight, held together by water.
Galileo Galilei
To understand the Universe, you must understand the language in which it's written, the language of Mathematics.
Galileo Galilei
In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
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
It has always seemed to me extreme presumptuousness on the part of those who want to make human ability the measure of what nature can and knows how to do, since, when one comes down to it, there is not one effect in nature, no matter how small, that even the most speculative minds can fully understand.
Galileo Galilei
Nature is written in mathematical language.
