There is a single general space, a single vast immensity which we may freely call void: in it are unnumerable globes like this on which we live and grow, this space we declare to be infinite, since neither reason, convenience, sense-perception nor nature assign to it a limit.

Magicians can do more by means of faith than physicians by the truth.

With luck on your side, you can do without brains.

In this infinite space is placed our universe (whether by chance, by necessity, or by providence I do not now consider).

I need not instruct you of my belief: Time gives all and takes all away ; everything changes but nothing perishes ; One only is immutable, eternal and ever endures, one and the same with itself. With this philosophy my spirit grows, my mind expands. Whereof, how r ever obscure the night may be, I await daybreak, and they who dwell in day look for night Rejoice therefore, and keep whole, if you can, and return love for love.

The stars in the sky are really other suns like our own, around which orbit other planets. (paraphrase)

I who am in the night will move into the day.
