Quotes by Galileo Galilei

Italian astronomer & physicist (1564 - 1642)

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.

CP 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.

CP I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.

Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.

Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe.

CP All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
