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

Isaac Newton
Image
Bullialdus wrote that all force respecting ye Sun as its center & depending on matter must be reciprocally in a duplicate ratio of ye distance from ye center.
Isaac Newton
Image
I understood. I have understood. I do understand.
Isaac Newton

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.
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
Do not Bodies and Light act mutually upon one another that is to say, Bodies upon Light in emitting, reflecting, refracting and inflecting it, and Light upon Bodies for heating them, and putting their parts into a vibrating motion wherein heat consists?
Isaac Newton
Image
Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation.
Isaac Newton

I can see so far because I stood on the shoulders of giants.

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