“It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.”

As a blind man has no idea of colors, so we have no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.

I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.

Live your life as an Exclamation rather than an Explanation.

No sciences are better attested than the religion of the Bible.

Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful being.

God’ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‘Deity’ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

The motions which the planets now have could not spring from any natural cause alone, but were impressed by an intelligent agent.

We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.

If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results.

The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn.

God is the same God, always and everywhere. He is omnipresent not virtually only, but also substantially, for virtue cannot subsist without substance.

There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history.

If I had stayed for other people to make my tools and things for me, I had never made anything.

I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination.

I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments and demonstrations.

Once you have an established song, you can really come out of your shell and experiment with the sound you want to make.

The proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.

Hypotheses should be subservient only in explaining the properties of things but not assumed in determining them, unless so far as they may furnish experiments.

I have experimental evidence that time travel is not possible.

If you double the number of experiments you do per year you’re going to double your inventiveness.

Today’s scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.
