More quotes by Johannes Kepler
So long as the mother, Ignorance, lives, it is not safe for Science the offspring, to divulge the hidden causes of things.
Johannes Kepler
As soon as somebody demonstrates the art of flying, settlers from our species of man will not be lacking on the moon and Jupiter... Given ships or sails adapted to the breezes of heaven, there will be those who will not shrink from even that vast expanse.
Johannes Kepler
I am a Lutheran astrologer, I throw away the nonsense and keep the hard kernel.
Johannes Kepler
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
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
[Quantity is the fundamental feature of things,] the 'primarium accidens substantiae,' ...prior to the other categories.
Johannes Kepler
I used to measure the Heavens, now I measure the shadows of Earth. The mind belonged to Heaven, the body's shadow lies here.
Johannes Kepler
Science is the process of thinking God's thoughts after Him.
Johannes Kepler
O telescope, instrument of much knowledge, more precious than any sceptre!
Johannes Kepler
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
The radius vector describes equal areas in equal times.
Johannes Kepler
Wherever there are qualities there are likewise quantities, but not always vice versa.
Johannes Kepler
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
Discover the force of the skies O Men: once recognised it can be put to use.
Johannes Kepler
When things are in order, if the cause of the orderliness cannot be deduced from the motion of the elements or from the composition of matter, it is quite possibly a cause possessing a mind.
Johannes Kepler
Geometry is the archetype of the beauty of the world.
Johannes Kepler
Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.
Johannes Kepler
Geometry has two great treasures one is the Theorem of Pythagoras the other, the division of a line into extreme and mean ratio. The first we may compare to a measure of gold the second we may name a precious jewel.
Johannes Kepler
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
If God himself has waited six thousand years for someone to contemplate his works, my book can wait for a hundred.
Johannes Kepler
