Johannes Kepler
Image
If the earth were not round, heavy bodies would not tend from every side in a straight line towards the center of the earth, but to different points from different sides.
Johannes Kepler
Image

Johannes Kepler
Image
Discover the force of the skies O Men: once recognised it can be put to use.
Johannes Kepler

Johannes Kepler
Image
Geometry existed before the creation. It is co-eternal with the mind of God...Geometry provided God with a model for the Creation.
Johannes Kepler
Image
If two stones were placed... near each other, and beyond the sphere of influence of a third cognate body, these stones, like two magnetic needles, would come together in the intermediate point, each approaching the other by a space proportional to the comparative mass of the other.
Johannes Kepler
Image
If there is anything that can bind the heavenly mind of man to this dreary exile of our earthly home and can reconcile us with our fate so that one can enjoy living,-then it is verily the enjoyment of the mathematical sciences and astronomy.
Johannes Kepler
Image
Nature loves simplicity and unity.
Johannes Kepler
Image
[Quantity is the fundamental feature of things,] the 'primarium accidens substantiae,' ...prior to the other categories.
Johannes Kepler
Image
Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it befits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.
Johannes Kepler
Image
If the earth should cease to attract its waters to itself all the waters of the sea would be raised and would flow to the body of the moon.
Johannes Kepler
