Galileo Galilei - The Assayer

Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgement upon anything new.
Galileo Galilei
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
Galileo Galilei
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.

Galileo Galilei
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
Galileo Galilei
Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe.
