My Greatest Desire Is That

The Heavenly Motions... Are Nothing But A Continuous Song For Several Voices, Perceived Not By The Ear But By The Intellect, A Figured Music Which Sets Landmarks In The Immeasurable Flow Of Time.

If Two Stones Were Placed... Near Each Other, And Beyond The Sphere Of Influence Of A Third Cognate Body, These Stones, Like Two Magnetic Needles, Would Come Together In The Intermediate Point, Each Approaching The Other By A Space Proportional To The Comparative Mass Of The Other.

[god] Is The Kind Creator Who Brought Forth Nature Out Of Nothing.

There Will Certainly Be No Lack Of Human Pioneers When We Have Mastered The Art Of Flight....let Us Create Vessels And Sails Justed To The Heavenly Ether, And There Will Be Plenty Of People Unafraid Of The Empty Wastes. In The Meantime We Shall Prepare, For The Brave Sky-travelers, Maps Of The Celestial Bodies.

I Had The Intention Of Becoming A Theologian...but Now I See How God Is, By My Endeavors, Also Glorified In Astronomy, For 'the Heavens Declare The Glory Of God.'
