Astronomy would not provide me with bread if men did not entertain hopes of reading the future in the heavens.

I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.

Science is the process of thinking God's thoughts after Him.

Geometry is the archetype of the beauty of the world.

Once miracles are admitted, every scientific explanation is out of the question.

I had the intention of becoming a theologian...but now I see how God is, by my endeavors, also glorified in astronomy, for 'the heavens declare the glory of God.'

Nothing is as good as coming into the new year with zeal, hope and positive mind.

Do not surrender to the one that rules this world, you have the greater One in you

What do you think of the human mind? I mean, in case you think there is a human mind.

I know for a fact that Ted Cruz every day uses two checklists - to guide him through his personal and professional life - and that is the Bible and the U.S. Constitution.

Where God is at the center of things, worship inevitably follows. Where there is no spirit of worship, there God has been dethroned and displaced.

We should still pray. We have no other authority but to pray.
