More quotes by Isaac Newton

Image
Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise Physician prescribes because we need them and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Let us trust his skill and thank him for his prescription.
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
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
I have not been able to discover the cause of those properties of gravity from phenomena, and I frame no hypotheses for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called a hypothesis, and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, whether of occult qualities or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy.
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
Therefore, the causes assigned to natural effects of the same kind must be, so far as possible, the same.
Isaac Newton
Image
I shall not mingle conjectures with certainties.
Isaac Newton
Image
We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy.
Isaac Newton
Image
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
Image
Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation.
Isaac Newton
Image
I consider my greatest accomplishment to be lifelong celibacy.
Isaac Newton
Image
Centripetal force is the force by which bodies are drawn from all sides, are impelled, or in any way tend, toward some point as to a center.
Isaac Newton
Image
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
Image
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.
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.

Oh Diamond! Diamond! thou little knowest the mischief done! [Apocryphal]
Isaac Newton
Image
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
Image
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.
Isaac Newton
Image
When two forces unite, their efficiency double.
Isaac Newton
Image
For the Rays, to speak properly, have no Colour. In them there is nothing else than a certain power and disposition to stir up a sensation of this Colour or that.
