Galileo Galilei

(1564–1642) · Italian Astronomer

Was a Florentine astronomer, physicist and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
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.
Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.
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 give infinite thanks to God, who has been pleased to make me the first observer of marvelous things.
It is surely harmful to souls to make it a heresy to believe what is proved.
The nature of the human mind is such that unless it is stimulated by images of things acting upon it from without, all remembrance of them passes easily away.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
We must say that there are as many squares as there are numbers.
Where the senses fail us, reason must step in.
