More quotes by Galileo Galilei
With regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them.
Galileo Galilei
Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies before our eyes — I mean the universe — but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols, in which it is written.
Galileo Galilei
Well, since paradoxes are at hand, let us see how it might be demonstrated that in a finite continuous extension it is not impossible for infinitely many voids to be found.
Galileo Galilei
The greatest wisdom is to get to know oneself.
Galileo Galilei
I do not know what to say in a case so surprising, so unlooked for and so novel.
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
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
It is surely harmful to souls to make it a heresy to believe what is proved.
Galileo Galilei
It is a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the Moon.
Galileo Galilei
Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgment upon anything new.
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
Nonetheless, it moves.
Galileo Galilei
Knowing thyself, that is the greatest wisdom.
Galileo Galilei
The vain presumption of understanding everything can have no other basis than never having understood anything. For anyone who had ever experienced just once the perfect understanding of one single thing, and had truly tasted how knowledge is accomplished, would recognize that of the infinity of other truths he understands nothing.
Galileo Galilei
Nothing physical which sense-experience sets before our eyes, or which necessary demonstrations prove to us, ought to be called in question (much less condemned) upon the testimony of biblical passages...
Galileo Galilei
To understand the Universe, you must understand the language in which it's written, the language of Mathematics.
Galileo Galilei
They who depend upon manifest observations will philosophize better than those who persist in opinions repugnant to the senses.
Galileo Galilei
The Universe is a grand book which cannot be read until one first learns to comprehend the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is composed. It is written in the language of mathematics.
Galileo Galilei
[Copernicus] did not ignore the Bible, but he knew very well that if his doctrine were proved, then it could not contradict the Scriptures when they were rightly understood.
Galileo Galilei
I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.
Galileo Galilei
