“Geometry is of much assistance in architecture, and in particular it teaches us the use of the rule and compasses, by which especially we acquire readiness in making plans for buildings in their grounds, and rightly apply the square, the level, and the plummet. By means of optics the light in buildings can be drawn from fixed quarters of the sky. Difficult questions involving symmetry are solved by means of geometrical theories and methods.”

“Your breathing should flow gracefully, like a river, like a watersnake crossing the water, and not like a chain of rugged mountains or the gallop of a horse.

Each time we find ourselves dispersed and find it difficult to gain control of ourselves by different means, the method of watching the breath should always be used.”

For Hypotheses are not to be regarded in experimental Philosophy.”

The surest way to end them is to establish beyond question what should be the purpose and method of a philosophical enquiry.

For if there are any questions which science leaves it to philosophy to answer, a straightforward process of elimination must lead to their discovery.”
