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.

More quotes by Isaac Newton
What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.
Isaac Newton
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
The way to chastity is not to struggle directly with incontinent thoughts but to avert the thoughts by some imployment, or by reading, or meditating on other things.
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
I can see so far because I stood on the shoulders of giants.
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
Daniel was in the greatest credit amongst the Jews, till the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian . And to reject his prophecies, is to reject the Christian religion. For this religion is founded upon his prophecy concerning the Messiah .
Isaac Newton
I do not feign hypotheses.
Isaac Newton
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.
Isaac Newton
I consider my greatest accomplishment to be lifelong celibacy.
Isaac Newton
Oh Diamond! Diamond! thou little knowest the mischief done! [Apocryphal]
Isaac Newton
Whence arises all that order and beauty we see in the world?
Isaac Newton
In the reign of the Greek Emperor Justinian , and again in the reign of Phocas , the Bishop of Rome obtained some dominion over the Greek Churches, but of no long continuance. His standing dominion was only over the nations of the Western Empire, represented by Daniel's fourth Beast.
Isaac Newton
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
Isaac Newton
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
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
We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.
Isaac Newton
To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age
Isaac Newton
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
His epitaph: Who, by vigor of mind almost divine, the motions and figures of the planets, the paths of comets, and the tides of the seas first demonstrated.
Isaac Newton
