Galileo
 Italian astronomer & physicist

| “ | 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. | ” |
| “ | I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.
| ” |
| “ | Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe. | ” |
| “ | You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself. | ” |
| “ | Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgement upon anything new.
The Assayer | ” |
