Robert Hooke

The air pump reveals vacuum's secrets.

Life is a series of springs and tensions.

I chuckle at the size of the mite.

Wisdom comes from the small things.

My legacy is in the unseen world.

What the mind is, and how it is made, and what it is made of, and how it acts, and what it does, and what it is capable of doing, and what it is not capable of doing, are questions that have been agitated by the greatest philosophers in all ages, and are still as far from being resolved as ever.

By the help of microscopes, there is nothing so small, but we may discover it; and by the help of telescopes, there is nothing so far off, but we may reach it.

The truth is, the science of nature has been so much neglected, that it is almost lost.

The more I search, the more I see the wisdom and goodness of God in all his works.

The only way to learn is to do.

Nature is always the same, and always acts by the same laws.

The eye is the window of the soul.

The more we know, the more we discover our ignorance.

The works of nature are all regular and uniform.

The world is a great machine, and all its parts are in motion.

The mind is a blank slate, and all our knowledge comes from experience.

The senses are the inlets of knowledge.

The more we observe, the more we learn.

The true method of philosophy is to begin with observations, and then to proceed to experiments.

The most beautiful things in the world are the most simple.
