More quotes by Isaac Newton
Poetry is a kind of ingenious nonsense.
Isaac Newton
We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.
Isaac Newton
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
As a blind man has no idea of colors, so we have no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.
Isaac Newton
My principal method for defeating error and heresy is by establishing the truth. One purposes to fill a bushel with tares, but if I can fill it first with wheat, I may defy his attempts.
Isaac Newton
If I had stayed for other people to make my tools and things for me, I had never made anything.
Isaac Newton
Every body persists in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces having impact upon it.
Isaac Newton
The latest authors, like the most ancient, strove to subordinate the phenomena of nature to the laws of mathematics.
Isaac Newton
Therefore, the causes assigned to natural effects of the same kind must be, so far as possible, the same.
Isaac Newton
If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results.
Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he discovered the law of gravity. He replied, By thinking about it all the time.
Isaac Newton
Whence arises all that order and beauty we see in the world?
Isaac Newton
The great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton
The other part of the true religion is our duty to man. We must love our neighbour as our selves, we must be charitable to all men for charity is the greatest of graces, greater then even faith or hope & covers a multitude of sins. We must be righteous & do to all men as we would they should do to us.
Isaac Newton
The Prophecies of Daniel are all of them related to one another, as if they were but several parts of one general Prophecy, given at several times. The first is the easiest to be understood, and every following Prophecy adds something new to the former.
Isaac Newton
All the characters of the Passion agree to the year 34 and that is the only year to which they all agree.
Isaac Newton
An object that is at rest will tend to stay at rest. An object that is in motion will tend to stay in motion.
Isaac Newton
I understood. I have understood. I do understand.
Isaac Newton
Ax: 100 Every thing doth naturally persevere in yt state in wch it is unlesse it bee interrupted by some externall cause, hence... [a] body once moved will always keepe ye same celerity, quantity & determination of its motion.
Isaac Newton
God is able to create particles of matter of several sizes and figures and perhaps of different densities and forces, and thereby to vary the laws of nature, and make worlds of several sorts in several parts of the Universe.
Isaac Newton
