The Squares Of The Periodic

If There Is Anything That Can Bind The Heavenly Mind Of Man To This Dreary Exile Of Our Earthly Home And Can Reconcile Us With Our Fate So That One Can Enjoy Living,-then It Is Verily The Enjoyment Of The Mathematical Sciences And Astronomy.

The Moon... Is A Mass, Akin To The Mass Of The Earth, Attracts The Waters By A Magnetic Force, Not Because They Are Liquid, But Because They Possess Earthy Substance, And So Share In The Movements Of A Heavy Body.

Either... The Moving Intelligences Of The Planets Are Weakest In Those That Are Farthest From The Sun, Or... There Is One Moving Intelligence In The Sun, The Common Center, Forcing Them All Round, But Those Most Violently Which Are Nearest, And That It Languishes In Some Sort And Grows Weaker At The Most Distant, Because Of The Remoteness And The Attenuation Of The Virtue.

If The Earth Were Not Round, Heavy Bodies Would Not Tend From Every Side In A Straight Line Towards The Center Of The Earth, But To Different Points From Different Sides.

I Am Stealing The Golden Vessels Of The Egyptians To Build A Tabernacle To My God From Them, Far Far Away From The Boundaries Of Egypt. If You Forgive Me, I Shall Rejoice; If You Are Enraged With Me, I Shall Bear It. See, I Cast The Die, And I Write The Book. Whether It Is To Be Read By The People Of The Present Or Of The Future Makes No Difference: Let It Await Its Reader For A Hundred Years, If God Himself Has Stood Ready For Six Thousand Years For One To Study Him.
