Nature Loves Simplicity And Unity.

My Aim Is To Say That The Machinery Of The Heavens Is Not Like A Divine Animal But Like A Clock (and Anyone Who Believes A Clock Has A Soul Gives The Work The Honour Due To Its Maker) And That In It Almost All The Variety Of Motions Is From One Very Simple Magnetic Force Acting On Bodies, As In The Clock All Motions Are From A Very Simple Weight.

The Creator, The Fountain Of All Wisdom, The Approver Of Perpetual Order, The Eternal And Superessential Spring Of Geometry And Harmonics.

The Squares Of The Periodic Times Are Proportional To The Cubes Of The Mean Distances From The Sun.

As Soon As Somebody Demonstrates The Art Of Flying, Settlers From Our Species Of Man Will Not Be Lacking On The Moon And Jupiter... Given Ships Or Sails Adapted To The Breezes Of Heaven, There Will Be Those Who Will Not Shrink From Even That Vast Expanse.

The Heavenly Bodies Are Nothing But A Continuous Song For Several Voices (perceived By The Intellect, Not By The Ear); A Music Which... Sets Landmarks In The Immeasurable Flow Of Time. It Is Therefore, No Longer Surprising That Man, In Imitation Of His Creator, Has At Last Discovered The Art Of Figured Song, Which Was Unknown To The Ancients. Man Wanted To Reproduce The Continuity Of Cosmic Time... To Obtain A Sample Test Of The Delight Of The Divine Creator In His Works, And To Partake Of His Joy By Making Music In The Imitation Of God.
