So long as the mother, Ignorance, lives, it is not safe for Science the offspring, to divulge the hidden causes of things.

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.

I always made my food congenial to my constitution, and my health was always excellent.

Living composers writing for big band are very few and far between. There are not a lot of them, and I have a talent for doing it. I am zeroing in on what I do best.

I am as omnivorous as it's possible to be. I always say there's nothing I won't eat and nothing I won't wear.

They think so small, they use small words. But not me, I'm smarter than that, I've worked it out. I'm stretching my mouth to let those big words come on out.

When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer, you beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live.
