Quote

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.

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

If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.
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
My principal method for defeating error and heresy is by establishing the truth. One purposes to fill a bushel with tares, but if I can fill it first with wheat, I may defy his attempts.
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
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.

Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors.
Isaac Newton
Image
He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God but he who really thinks has to believe in God.

Hypotheses non fingo. I frame no hypotheses.

As a blind man has no idea of colors, so we have no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.
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.

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.

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

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.

What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.
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
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

We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy.

Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy.
