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.

Where there is matter, there is geometry.

Why are things as they are and not otherwise?

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.'

Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it befits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.

Truth is the daughter of time, and I feel no shame in being her midwife.

My greatest desire is that I may perceive the God whom I find everywhere in the external world, in like manner also within and inside myself.

I believe only and alone in the service of Jesus Christ. In him is all refuge and solace.

WHEN PEOPLE SHOW YOU THEIR TRUE COLORS, DON'T GO COLOR BLIND

Only by entering new and unfamiliar worlds can a person change society as well as self.

You grow up the day you have your first real laugh at yourself.

Happiness, or misery, is in the mind. It is the mind that lives.

To fully thrive, we must not only eliminate the stressors but also actively seek joyful, loving, fulfilling lives that stimulate growth processes

If you dont have anything nice to say... dead silence creates a lot awkwardness.

Iraqi forces are still in control of the city, and they are engaging in an attrition war with the enemy.

A learned person among ignorant people, is like a live person among the dead.

Nothing is more confusing than people who give good advice but set a bad example.
