Galileo quotes
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.
In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.
The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
The universe is written in the language of mathematics.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
Measure what is measurable, and make measurable what is not so.
Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty.
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.
Wine is sunlight, held together by water.
The great book of nature can be read only by those who know the language of mathematics.
Doubt is the father of invention.
The laws of nature are written by the hand of God.
I think that tastes, odors, colors, and so on reside in consciousness. Hence if the living creature were removed, all these qualities would be annihilated.
Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.
Galileo quotes part 2
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.
By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.
Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.
The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
