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.

More quotes by Johannes Kepler
Thus God himself was too kind to remain idle and began to play the game of signatures signing his likeness unto the world: therefore I chance to think that all nature and the graceful sky are symbolized in the art of Geometria.
Johannes Kepler
Discover the force of the skies O Men: once recognised it can be put to use.
Johannes Kepler
Astronomy would not provide me with bread if men did not entertain hopes of reading the future in the heavens.
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
The Creator, the fountain of all wisdom, the approver of perpetual order, the eternal and superessential spring of geometry and harmonics.
Johannes Kepler
I am a Lutheran astrologer, I throw away the nonsense and keep the hard kernel.
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
In theology we must consider the predominance of authority in philosophy the predominance of reason.
Johannes Kepler
Eyesight should learn from reason.
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
So long as the mother, Ignorance, lives, it is not safe for Science the offspring, to divulge the hidden causes of things.
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 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
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
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
Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.
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
The radius vector describes equal areas in equal times.
Johannes Kepler
Where there is matter, there is geometry.
Johannes Kepler
