Today is the birthday of Galileo Galilei (February 15, 1564 – January 8, 1642), physicist, mathematician, astronomer and philosopher. Galileo's works were banned during his lifetime and he died under house arrest."You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself."
— Galileo Galilei
"Long experience has taught me this about the status of mankind with regard to matters requiring thought: the less people know and understand about them, the more positively they attempt to argue concerning them, while on the other hand to know and understand a multitude of things renders men cautious in passing judgment upon anything new."
— Galileo Galilei
"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them."
— Galileo Galilei
"Passion is the genesis of genius."
— Galileo Galilei
