More quotes by 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
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
I am a Lutheran astrologer, I throw away the nonsense and keep the hard kernel.
Johannes Kepler
Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.
Johannes Kepler
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
The radius vector describes equal areas in equal times.
Johannes Kepler
The Earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides, is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
Johannes Kepler
When ships to sail the void between the stars have been built, there will step forth men to sail these ships.
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
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
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
Astronomy would not provide me with bread if men did not entertain hopes of reading the future in the heavens.
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
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
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
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 roads by which men arrive at their insights into celestial matters seem to me almost as worthy of wonder as those matters in themselves.
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
O telescope, instrument of much knowledge, more precious than any sceptre!
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
