JOHANNES KEPLER QUOTES ABOUT GOD

“The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God, and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.”

“Geometry is unique and eternal, a reflection of the mind of God himself.”

“I was merely thinking God’s thoughts after him. Since we astronomers are priests of the highest God in regard to the book of nature, it benefits us to be thoughtful, not of the glory of our minds, but rather, above all else, of the glory of God.”

“I demonstrate by means of philosophy that the earth is round, and is inhabited on all sides; that it is insignificantly small, and is borne through the stars.”

“I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”

“I am convinced that the divine mind found delight in discovering mathematical truths, for by them more than anything else we come to know the nature of God and His relation to the world.”

“Nature uses as little as possible of anything.”

“Geometry, which before the origin of things was coeternal with the divine mind and is God himself, was consulted by God in the creation of things.”

“The Bible is a decree of the Supreme Being, who as king of kings has a supreme right to legislate.”

“Those laws are within the grasp of the human mind. God wanted us to recognize them by creating us after his own image so that we could share in his own thoughts.”

“I am given over entirely to the Holy Scriptures and the holy divinity which dwells therein, whence whatever appears otherwise to me, whether preached from the pulpit or elicited by logical reasoning, I will sooner assert to be false than my own uninterpreted Bible.”

“I believe there are no more false doctrines than those which propose to limit the power of God.” FIGHTING FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE QUOTES

“Learn your theories as well as you can, but put them aside when you touch the miracle of the living soul.”

“The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens with so little reason clear and visible, that they are accustomed to deify Nature.”

“Geometry is one and eternal shining in the mind of God.”

“The paths traced by heavenly bodies moving in circles are not the result of any continuous law or rule, nor can any such law be found.”

“It is the geometry of the planets which shows God’s throne to be eternal and supreme in substance.”

“The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God.”

“My aim is to show that the heavenly machine is not a kind of divine, live being, but a kind of clockwork. By using certain most evident and thoroughly recognized truths, it is possible to prove conclusively that the five planets revolving around the sun are held together by one common force.”

“Since we astronomists are ministers of the highest God in relation to the book of nature … it benefits us to be thoughtful, not of glory to our minds, but rather of the glory of God.”

“The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.”

“I believe in a God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists.”

“God created the world on the eighth day, because it is on the seventh day that he rests.”
