Quotes

• “My goal is to show that the heavenly machine is not a kind of divine living being but similar to a clockwork insofar as all the manifold motions are taken care of by one single absolutely simple magnetic bodily force, as in a clockwork all motion is taken care of by a simple weight. And indeed I also show how this physical representation can be presented by calculation and geometrically.”
• “Nature uses as little as possible of anything.”
• “We do not ask for what useful purpose the birds do sing, for song is their pleasure since they were created for singing. Similarly, we ought not to ask why the human mind troubles to fathom the secrets of the heavens. The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.”
• “In Terra inest virtus, quae Lunam del.”
• “There is a force in the earth which causes the moon to move.”
• “I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.”

Motto

“I have measured the heavens, now I measure the shadows of the earth. Heavenward strives the spirit, the shadow of the body rests here.”
