It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.
Isaac Newton
Image
Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise Physician prescribes because we need them and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Let us trust his skill and thank him for his prescription.
Isaac Newton
Image
Thus this Earth resembles a great animall or rather an inanimate vegetable, draws in aethereal breath for its dayly refreshment and vitall ferment and transpires again grosses exhalations. And, according to the condition of all other things living, ought to have its time of beginning, youth, old age and perishing.
Isaac Newton

Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.
Isaac Newton

He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God but he who really thinks has to believe in God.
Isaac Newton
Image
I see I have made myself a slave to Philosophy, but if I get free of Mr. Linus's business I will resolutely bid adew to it eternally, excepting for what I do for my private satisfaction or leave to come out after me. For I see a man must either resolve to put out nothing new or to become a slave to defend it.
Isaac Newton
Image
If I had stayed for other people to make my tools and things for me, I had never made anything.
Isaac Newton
Image
How came the bodies of animals to be contrived with so much art, and for what ends were their several parts? Was the eye contrived without skill in Opticks, and the ear without knowledge of sounds?...and these things being rightly dispatch’d, does it not appear from phænomena that there is a Being incorporeal, living, intelligent...?
Isaac Newton
Image
If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results.
Isaac Newton
Image
The changing of Bodies into Light, and Light into Bodies, is very conformable to the Course of Nature, which seems delighted with Transmutations.
Isaac Newton
Image
Godliness consists in the knowledge love & worship of God, Humanity in love, righteousness & good offices towards man.
Isaac Newton
Image
Physics, beware of metaphysics.
Isaac Newton
Image
To any action there is always an opposite and equal reaction in other words, the actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal and always opposite in direction.
Isaac Newton
Image
The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn.
Isaac Newton
Image
Do not Bodies and Light act mutually upon one another that is to say, Bodies upon Light in emitting, reflecting, refracting and inflecting it, and Light upon Bodies for heating them, and putting their parts into a vibrating motion wherein heat consists?
Isaac Newton
Image
The alternation of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.
Isaac Newton
Image
Every particle of matter is attracted by or gravitates to every other particle of matter with a force inversely proportional to the squares of their distances.
Isaac Newton
Image
This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.
Isaac Newton
Image
We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.
Isaac Newton
Image
I know not how I seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with while the vast ocean of undiscovered truth lay before me.
