I Had The Intention Of Becoming A

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

I Much Prefer The Sharpest Criticism Of A Single Intelligent Man To The Thoughtless Approval Of The Masses.

Thus God Himself Was Too Kind To Remain Idle And Began To Play The Game Of Signatures Signing His Likeness Unto The World: Therefore I Chance To Think That All Nature And The Graceful Sky Are Symbolized In The Art Of Geometria.

But Although The Attractive Virtue Of The Earth Extends Upwards, As Has Been Said, So Very Far, Yet If Any Stone Should Be At A Distance Great Enough To Become Sensible Compared With The Earth's Diameter, It Is True That On The Motion Of The Earth Such A Stone Would Not Follow Altogether; Its Own Force Of Resistance Would Be Combined With The Attractive Force Of The Earth, And Thus It Would Extricate Itself In Some Degree From The Motion Of The Earth.

Geometry, Which Before The Origin Of Things Was Coeternal With The Divine Mind And Is God Himself (for What Could There Be In God Which Would Not Be God Himself?), Supplied God With Patterns For The Creation Of The World, And Passed Over To Man Along With The Image Of God; And Was Not In Fact Taken In Through The Eyes.
