More quotes by 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
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
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
Do not Bodies act upon Light at a distance, and by their action bend its Rays and is not this action (caeteris paribus) [all else being equal] strongest at the least distance?
Isaac Newton
If I am anything, which I highly doubt, I have made myself so by hard work.
Isaac Newton
The latest authors, like the most ancient, strove to subordinate the phenomena of nature to the laws of mathematics.
Isaac Newton
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
Isaac Newton
Poetry is a kind of ingenious nonsense.
Isaac Newton
In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.
Isaac Newton
Godliness consists in the knowledge love & worship of God, Humanity in love, righteousness & good offices towards man.
Isaac Newton
I consider my greatest accomplishment to be lifelong celibacy.
Isaac Newton
Is not Fire a Body heated so hot as to emit Light copiously? For what else is a red hot Iron than Fire? And what else is a burning Coal than red hot Wood?
Isaac Newton
Because of Diamond, I have had to begin much of the work afresh. I will not, however, rid myself of her, nor even punish her. She knew not what she was doing, and that which she did was for my protection and for love of my person. Her place remains at my side or against my feet when I lie abed.
Isaac Newton
If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.
Isaac Newton
The great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton
Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.
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
Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation.
Isaac Newton
Pictures, propagated by motion along the fibers of the optic nerves in the brain, are the cause of vision.
Isaac Newton
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the seashore.
