"The deeper I go into the sciences, the more I am convinced that the world is the work of an all-wise Creator."

"And finally, if the earth were to stop spinning, then the water in the oceans would fly off, and the mountains would crumble. So it must be moving."

"I wish to persuade the wise and not to compel them."

"It is not in the power of any created being to make things true or false, but only to discover what is true or false."

"I do not hope for any relief, and that is because I have committed no crime."
