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.

More quotes by Isaac Newton
I can see so far because I stood on the shoulders of giants.
Isaac Newton
If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results.
Isaac Newton
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
I consider my greatest accomplishment to be lifelong celibacy.
Isaac Newton
That one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of any thing else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity, that I believe no man, who has in philosophical matters a compentent faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it.
Isaac Newton
All my discoveries have been made in answer to prayer.
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
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
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
An object that is at rest will tend to stay at rest. An object that is in motion will tend to stay in motion.
Isaac Newton
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
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
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
Isaac Newton
Thus this Earth resembles a great animall or rather an inanimate vegetable, draws in aethereal breath for its dayly refreshment and vitall ferment and transpires again grosses exhalations. And, according to the condition of all other things living, ought to have its time of beginning, youth, old age and perishing.
Isaac Newton
The instinct of brutes and insects can be the effect of nothing else than the wisdom and skill of a powerful ever-living agent.
Isaac Newton
Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.
Isaac Newton
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
A cylinder of air reaching to the top of the atmosphere is of equal weight with a cylinder of water about 33 feet high.
Isaac Newton
I have been much amused at ye singular phenomena resulting from bringing of a needle into contact with a piece of amber or resin fricated on silke clothe. Ye flame putteth me in mind of sheet lightning on a small-how very small-scale.
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
