More quotes by Johannes Kepler
Ships and sails proper for the heavenly air should be fashioned. Then there will also be people, who do not shrink from the dreary vastness of space.
Johannes Kepler
The Earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides, is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
Johannes Kepler
Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.
Johannes Kepler
We find, therefore, under this orderly arrangement, a wonderful symmetry in the universe, and a definite relation of harmony in the motion and magnitude of the orbs, of a kind that is not possible to obtain in any other way.
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
The sun alone appears, by virtue of his dignity and power, suited for this motive duty (of moving the planets) and worthy to become the home of God himself.
Johannes Kepler
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
[Quantity is the fundamental feature of things,] the 'primarium accidens substantiae,' ...prior to the other categories.
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
The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.
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
Wherever there are qualities there are likewise quantities, but not always vice versa.
Johannes Kepler
I believe only and alone in the service of Jesus Christ. In him is all refuge and solace.
Johannes Kepler
Where there is matter, there is geometry.
Johannes Kepler
If the moon and earth were not retained in their orbits by their animal force or some other equivalent, the earth would mount to the moon by a fifty-fourth part of their distance, and the moon fall towards the earth through the other fifty-three parts, and they would there meet, assuming, however, that the substance of both is of the same density.
Johannes Kepler
Gravity is a mutual affection between cognate bodies towards union or conjunction (similar in kind to the magnetic virtue), so that the earth attracts a stone much rather than the stone seeks the earth.
Johannes Kepler
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
The moon... is a mass, akin to the mass of the earth, attracts the waters by a magnetic force, not because they are liquid, but because they possess earthy substance, and so share in the movements of a heavy body.
Johannes Kepler
Discover the force of the skies O Men: once recognised it can be put to use.
Johannes Kepler
The Creator, the fountain of all wisdom, the approver of perpetual order, the eternal and superessential spring of geometry and harmonics.
Johannes Kepler
