Quote

If you are affronted it is better to pass it by in silence, or with a jest, though with some dishonor, than to endeavor revenge. If you can keep reason above passion, that and watchfulness will be your best defenders.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
Isaac Newton

I can see so far because I stood on the shoulders of giants.
Isaac Newton

You ask me how, with so much study, I manage to retene my health. Morpheus is my last companion without 8 or 9 hours of him yr correspondent is not worth one scavenger's peruke. My practices did at ye first hurt my stomach, but now I eat heartily enou' as y' will see when I come down beside you.

And, according to the condition of all other things living, ought to have its time of beginning, youth, old age and perishing.

As I am writing, another illustration of ye generation of hills proposed above comes into my mind. Milk is as uniform a liquor as ye chaos was. If beer be poured into it & ye mixture let stand till it be dry, the surface of ye curdled substance will appear as rugged & mountanous as the Earth in any place.
Isaac Newton

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.

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.

It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.
