Astronomy is written for astronomers (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)
Those who know that the consensus of many centuries has sanctioned the conception that the earth remains at rest in the middle of the heavens as its center, would, I reflected, regard it as an insane pronouncement if I made the opposite assertion that the earth moves (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)

Nations are not ruined by one act of violence, but gradually and in an almost imperceptible manner by the depreciation of their circulating currency, through its excessive quantity (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)
The scorn which I had reason to fear on account of the novelty and unconventionality of my opinion almost induced me to abandon completely the work which I had undertaken... Astronomy is written for astronomers. To them my work too will seem, unless I am mistaken, to make some contribution (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)
In first place we must observe that the universe is spherical. This is either because that figure is the most perfect, as not being articulated, but whole and complete in itself; or because it is the most capacious and therefore best suited for that which is to contain and preserve all things (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)
Let no one expect anything of certainty from astronomy, lest if anyone take as true that which has been constructed for another use, he go away... A bigger fool than when he came to it (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)

Pouring forth its seas everywhere, then, the ocean envelops the earth and fills its deeper chasms (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)
Moreover, since the sun remains stationary, whatever appears as a motion of the sun is really due rather to the motion of the earth (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)
More stars in the north are seen not to set, while in the south certain stars are no longer seen to rise (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)
In so many and such important ways, then, do the planets bear witness to the earth’s mobility (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)
I shall now recall to mind that the motion of the heavenly bodies is circular, since the motion appropriate to a sphere is rotation in a circle (Nicolaus Copernicus Quotes)
