I Would Say Here Something That Was

Holy Writ Was Intended To Teach Men How To Go To Heaven Not How The Heavens Go.

Among The Great Men Who Have Philosophized About [the Action Of The Tides], The One Who Surprised Me Most Is Kepler. He Was A Person Of Independent Genius, [but He] Became Interested In The Action Of The Moon On The Water, And In Other Occult Phenomena, And Similar Childishness.

Philosophy Is Written In That Great Book Which Ever Lies Before Our Eyes — I Mean The Universe — But We Cannot Understand It If We Do Not First Learn The Language And Grasp The Symbols, In Which It Is Written.

Who Would Dare Assert That We Know All There Is To Be Known?

It Is Necessary For The Bible, In Order To Be Accommodated To The Understanding Of Every Man, To Speak Many Things Which Appear To Differ From The Absolute Truth So Far As The Bare Meaning Of The Words Is Concerned.
