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.

More quotes by Galileo Galilei
There are those who reason well, but they are greatly outnumbered by those who reason badly.
Galileo Galilei
See now the power of truth.
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
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
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
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
The Milky Way is nothing else but a mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters.
Galileo Galilei
Nature's great book is written in mathematics.
Galileo Galilei
The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
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
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
You may force me to say what you wish you may revile me for saying what I do. But it moves.
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
Nature is written in mathematical language.
Galileo Galilei
Nonetheless, it moves.
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
Measure what can be measured, and make measureable what cannot be measured.
Galileo Galilei
Science proceeds more by what it has learned to ignore than what it takes into account.
Galileo Galilei
Holy Scripture could never lie or err...its decrees are of absolute and inviolable truth.
Galileo Galilei
Who would dare assert that we know all there is to be known?
Galileo Galilei
