A famous quote by Galileo Galilei?

Answer 1

Galileo said many things in his time. Two things said by him are; "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." and "We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves."

Answer 2

"And yet it moves." This quote, attributed to Galileo Galilei after being forced to recant his heliocentric views by the Catholic Church, symbolizes his steadfast belief in the motion of the Earth despite opposition.

Answer 3

you're probably thinking of 'but it does move,' in reference to the earth.
he supposedly said it either after leaving the trial where the church made him rescind his findings about the earth revolving around the sun or on his deathbed.

Answer 4

Galileo Galilei:

"Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe."

"In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual."

"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them."

Answer 5

"I am a Venetian gentleman. I have never called myself one of the literati, but hold dear the protection of the literati. Never have I intended to take advantage of my fortune. My studies always concern those things which, as a Christian, I owe my God, as a citizen, I owe my country, as a nobleman, I owe my house, as a man of society, I owe my friends, and as a gallant man and philosopher, I owe to myself. My palace in Venice has often been compared to Noah's ark, partly because of its shape, partly because I keep inside all manner of beast. As a bachelor, I spend my time in conversation. If occasionally I speculate on science, don't believe, dear sir that I presume to be equal to the professors. I investigate freely the truth of those proportions which give me pleasure."

You cannot teach a man anything,you can only help him discover it in himself
