More quotes by Johannes Kepler

Image
A mind is accustomed to mathematical deduction, when confronted with the faulty foundations of astrology, resists a long, long time, like an obstinate mule, until compelled by beating and curses to put its foot into that dirty puddle.
Johannes Kepler
Image
Just as the eye was made to see colours, and the ear to hear sounds, so the human mind was made to understand, not whatever you please, but quantity.
Johannes Kepler
Image
When ships to sail the void between the stars have been built, there will step forth men to sail these ships.
Johannes Kepler
Image
The wisdom of the Lord is infinite as are also His glory and His power. Ye heavens, sing His praises sun, moon, and planets, glorify Him in your ineffable language! Praise Him, celestial harmonies, and all ye who can comprehend them! And thou, my soul, praise thy Creator! It is by Him and in Him that all exist.
Johannes Kepler
Image

Johannes Kepler

Johannes Kepler
Image

Johannes Kepler
Image
I also ask you my friends not to condemn me entirely to the mill of mathematical calculations, and allow me time for philosophical speculations, my only pleasures.
Johannes Kepler
Image
Wherever there are qualities there are likewise quantities, but not always vice versa.
Johannes Kepler
Image
So long as the mother, Ignorance, lives, it is not safe for Science the offspring, to divulge the hidden causes of things.
Johannes Kepler
Image
Eyesight should learn from reason.
Johannes Kepler
Image
Nature loves simplicity and unity.
Johannes Kepler
Image
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.
Johannes Kepler
Image
I believe the geometric proportion served the creator as an idea when He introduced the continuous generation of similar objects from similar objects.
Johannes Kepler
Image
The radius vector describes equal areas in equal times.
Johannes Kepler
Image
Nature uses as little as possible of anything.
Johannes Kepler
Image
Science is the process of thinking God's thoughts after Him.
Johannes Kepler
Image
I believe only and alone in the service of Jesus Christ. In him is all refuge and solace.
Johannes Kepler
Image
The soul of the newly born baby is marked for life by the pattern of the stars at the moment it comes into the world, unconsciously remembers it, and remains sensitive to the return of configurations of a similar kind.
Johannes Kepler
Image
If God himself has waited six thousand years for someone to contemplate his works, my book can wait for a hundred.
