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.

Oh Diamond! Diamond! thou little knowest the mischief done! [Apocryphal]
Isaac Newton
Image
We are not to consider the world as the body of God: he is an uniform being, void of organs, members, or parts and they are his creatures, subordinate to him, and subservient to his will.
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
If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
Isaac Newton
Image
The Ignis Fatuus is a vapor shining without heat.
Isaac Newton
Image
A cylinder of air reaching to the top of the atmosphere is of equal weight with a cylinder of water about 33 feet high.
Isaac Newton
Image
The main Business of Natural Philosophy is to argue from Phænomena without feigning Hypotheses, and to deduce Causes from Effects till we come to the very first Cause, which certainly is not mechanical and not only to unfold the Mechanism of the World, but chiefly to resolve these, and to such like Questions.
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
Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.
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
God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable, movable particles, of such sizes and figures, and with such other properties, and in such proportion to space, as most conduced to the end for which he formed them.
Isaac Newton
Image
Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he discovered the law of gravity. He replied, By thinking about it all the time.
Isaac Newton
Image
What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.
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
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
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
Image
By such deductions the law of gravitation is rendered probable, that every particle attracts every other particle with a force which varies inversely as the square of the distance. The law thus suggested is assumed to be universally true.

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age

No old Men (excepting Dr. Wallis) love Mathematicks.
