More quotes by Galileo Galilei
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
Galileo Galilei
When the moon is ninety degrees away from the sun it sees but half the earth illuminated (the western half). For the other (the eastern half) is enveloped in night. Hence the moon itself is illuminated less brightly from the earth, and as a result its secondary light appears fainter to us.
Galileo Galilei
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered the point is to discover them.
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
Surely, God could have caused birds to fly with their bones made of solid gold, with their veins full of quicksilver, with their flesh heavier than lead, and with their wings exceedingly small. He did not, and that ought to show something. It is only in order to shield your ignorance that you put the Lord at every turn to the refuge of a miracle.
Galileo Galilei
The Milky Way is nothing else but a mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters.
Galileo Galilei
Measure what can be measured, and make measureable what cannot be measured.
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 a beautiful and delightful sight to behold the body of the Moon.
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
In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
Galileo Galilei
Nonetheless, it moves.
Galileo Galilei
I am inclined to think that the authority of Holy Scripture is intended to convince men of those truths which are necessary for their salvation, which, being far above man's understanding, can not be made credible by any learning, or any other means than revelation by the Holy Spirit.
Galileo Galilei
Knowing thyself, that is the greatest wisdom.
Galileo Galilei
See now the power of truth.
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
Science proceeds more by what it has learned to ignore than what it takes into account.
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
By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.
Galileo Galilei
Nature is written in mathematical language.
Galileo Galilei
