More quotes by 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
The greatest wisdom is to get to know oneself.
Galileo Galilei
There are those who reason well, but they are greatly outnumbered by those who reason badly.
Galileo Galilei
Nature's great book is written in mathematics.
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
[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
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.

I do not know what to say in a case so surprising, so unlooked for and so novel.
Galileo Galilei
To understand the Universe, you must understand the language in which it's written, the language of Mathematics.
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
You cannot teach a person something he does not already know, you can only bring what he does know to his awareness.
Galileo Galilei
To be humane, we must ever be ready to pronounce that wise, ingenious and modest statement 'I do not know'.
Galileo Galilei
They who depend upon manifest observations will philosophize better than those who persist in opinions repugnant to the senses.
Galileo Galilei
The Milky Way is nothing else but a mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters.
Galileo Galilei
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
Galileo Galilei
See now the power of truth.
Galileo Galilei
Holy Scripture could never lie or err...its decrees are of absolute and inviolable truth.
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
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
Science proceeds more by what it has learned to ignore than what it takes into account.
