The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
From Galileo Galilei
I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
Where the senses fail us, reason must step in.
The Milky Way is nothing else but a mass of innumerable stars planted together in clusters.
I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.

It vexes me when they would constrain science by the authority of the Scriptures, and yet do not consider themselves bound to answer reason and experiment.
Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the letters in which it is composed.
We must say that there are as many squares as there are numbers.
By denying scientific principles, one may maintain any paradox.
