More quotes by Isaac Newton
Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation.
Isaac Newton
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
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
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
Oh Diamond! Diamond! thou little knowest the mischief done! [Apocryphal]
Isaac Newton
What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.
Isaac Newton
OUR ORDINATION: Sir Isaac Newton, 1642 – 1747 About the times of the End, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition.
Isaac Newton
Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
Isaac Newton
The latest authors, like the most ancient, strove to subordinate the phenomena of nature to the laws of mathematics.
Isaac Newton
If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
Isaac Newton
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton
Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors.
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
If I am anything, which I highly doubt, I have made myself so by hard work.
Isaac Newton
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.
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
To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age
Isaac Newton
Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.
Isaac Newton
The great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton
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
