I shall not mingle conjectures with certainties.
Isaac Newton
Image
The seed of a tree has the nature of a branch or twig or bud. It is a part of the tree, but if separated and set in the earth to be better nourished, the embryo or young tree contained in it takes root and grows into a new tree.
Isaac Newton
Image
The great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton
Image
We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.
Isaac Newton
Image
Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors.
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
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.
Isaac Newton
Image
Whence arises all that order and beauty we see in the world?
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
When two forces unite, their efficiency double.
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
I consider my greatest accomplishment to be lifelong celibacy.
Isaac Newton
Image
If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results.
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 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

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
Those qualities of bodies that cannot be intended and remitted [i.e., qualities that cannot be increased and diminished] and that belong to all bodies on which experiments can be made should be taken as qualities of all bodies universally.
Isaac Newton
Image
Because of Diamond, I have had to begin much of the work afresh. I will not, however, rid myself of her, nor even punish her. She knew not what she was doing, and that which she did was for my protection and for love of my person. Her place remains at my side or against my feet when I lie abed.

The instinct of brutes and insects can be the effect of nothing else than the wisdom and skill of a powerful ever-living agent.
