Do not mistake your objection to defeat for an objection to fighting, your objection to being a slave for an objection to slavery, your objection to not being as rich as your neighbor for an objection to poverty. the cowardly, the insubordinate, and the envious share your objections.
Mistake Fighting Slavery
What is there in places empty of matter? and whence is it that the sun and planets gravitate toward one another without dense matter between them? whence is it that nature doth nothing in vain? and whence arises all that order and beauty which we see in the world? to what end are comets? and whence is it that planets move all one and the same way in orbs concentrick, while comets move all manner of ways in orbs very excentrick? and what hinders the fixed stars from falling upon one another?
Stars Moving Fall
It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motions of particular bodies from the apparent; because the parts of that immovable space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses. yet the thing is not altogether desperate; for we have some arguments to guide us, partly from the apparent motions, which are the differences of the true motions; partly from the forces, which are the causes and effects of the true motions.
Mean Differences Space
But what exceeds all wonders, i have discovered four new planets and observed their proper and particular motions, different among themselves and from the motions of all the other stars; and these new planets move about another very large star [jupiter] like venus and mercury, and perchance the other known planets, move about the sun. as soon as this tract, which i shall send to all the philosophers and mathematicians as an announcement, is finished, i shall send a copy to the most serene grand duke, together with an excellent spyglass, so that he can verify all these truths.

His epitaph: who, by vigor of mind almost divine, the motions and figures of the planets, the paths of comets, and the tides of the seas first demonstrated.
Sea Mind Vigor
It does seem to me, that herein we see the rare virtue of a strong individual vitality, and the rare virtue of thick walls, and the rare virtue of interior spaciousness. oh, man! admire and model thyself after the whale! do thou, too, remain warm among ice. do thou, too, live in this world without being of it. be cool at the equator; keep thy blood fluid at the pole. like the great dome of st. peter's, and like the great whale, retain, o man! in all seasons a temperature of thine own.
