Philosophy [nature] Is Written In That Great Book Which Ever Is Before Our Eyes -- I Mean The Universe -- But We Cannot Understand It If We Do Not First Learn The Language And Grasp The Symbols In Which It Is Written. The Book Is Written In Mathematical Language, And The Symbols Are Triangles, Circles And Other Geometrical Figures, Without Whose Help It Is Impossible To Comprehend A Single Word Of It; Without Which One Wanders In Vain Through A Dark Labyrinth.

It Seems To Me That It Was Well Said By Madama Serenissima, And Insisted On By Your Reverence, That The Holy Scripture Cannot Err, And That The Decrees Therein Contained Are Absolutely True And Inviolable.
