All knowledge and understanding of the Universe was no more than playing with stones and shells on the seashore of the vast imponderable ocean of truth.

Image
To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me
Isaac Newton
Image
The Ignis Fatuus is a vapor shining without heat.
Isaac Newton
Image
I know not how I seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with while the vast ocean of undiscovered truth lay before me.
Isaac Newton
Image
Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.
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
If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results.

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.
Isaac Newton
Image
God is able to create particles of matter of several sizes and figures and perhaps of different densities and forces, and thereby to vary the laws of nature, and make worlds of several sorts in several parts of the Universe.
Isaac Newton
Image
Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.
Isaac Newton
Image
If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.
Isaac Newton
Image
I can see so far because I stood on the shoulders of giants.
Isaac Newton
Image
Poetry is a kind of ingenious nonsense.
Isaac Newton
Image
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
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.
Isaac Newton
Image
I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.
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
An object that is at rest will tend to stay at rest. An object that is in motion will tend to stay in motion.

Hypotheses non fingo. I frame no hypotheses.
Isaac Newton
Image
He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God but he who really thinks has to believe in God.
Isaac Newton
Image
I feign no hypotheses.
