He that in ye mine of knowledge deepest diggeth, hath, like every other miner, ye least breathing time, and must sometimes at least come to terr. alt. for air.

I feign no hypotheses.
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

Whence arises all that order and beauty we see in the world?

Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors.
Isaac Newton
Image
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

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.

Hypotheses non fingo. I frame no hypotheses.

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.

Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.

If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results.
