I used to measure the Heavens, now I measure the shadows of Earth. The mind belonged to Heaven, the body's shadow lies here.

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.

The basic problem most people have is that they are doing nothing to solve their basic problem.

Try and stay sober. Until the curtain call. And for God's sake, have fun. Don't suffer for your art. Just have fun.

I'm very lazy, I hate to work.

Good is to bee sought out, and evill attended.

Pure happiness can only be attained through developing our mind.

Congress will always couple one bad idea with another, the better to 'offset' them.

I don't think people buy technology products because of the personalities of the people behind them.

That's my policy - to be positive, to just hope that something will happen. If you start with all your fears, your receptivity is for the negative.

You're afraid, you will just keep making the fear. If you want to change it, you change from your soul.

A successful team beats with one heart.
