More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.
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
Nature loves simplicity and unity.
Johannes Kepler
Discover the force of the skies O Men: once recognised it can be put to use.
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
The Earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides, is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.
Johannes Kepler
I believe only and alone in the service of Jesus Christ. In him is all refuge and solace.
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
O telescope, instrument of much knowledge, more precious than any sceptre!
Johannes Kepler
