More quotes by 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
The radius vector describes equal areas in equal times.
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 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
Geometry is the archetype of the beauty of the world.
Johannes Kepler
Yet in this my stars were not Mercury as morning star in the angle of the seventh house, in quartile with Mars, but they were Copernicus, they were Tycho Brahe, without whose books of observations everything which has now been brought by me into the brightest daylight would lie buried in darkness.
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
Nature uses as little as possible of anything.
Johannes Kepler
The Earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides, is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
Astronomy would not provide me with bread if men did not entertain hopes of reading the future in the heavens.
Johannes Kepler
...Those laws are within the grasp of the human mind. God wanted us to recognize them by creating us after his own image so that we could share in his own thoughts... and if piety allow us to say so, our understanding is in this respect of the same kind as the divine, at least as far as we are able to grasp something of it in our mortal life.
Johannes Kepler
Eyesight should learn from reason.
Johannes Kepler
