Isaac Newton

Every body persists in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces having impact upon it.
Isaac Newton
Image
Ax: 100 Every thing doth naturally persevere in yt state in wch it is unlesse it bee interrupted by some externall cause, hence... [a] body once moved will always keepe ye same celerity, quantity & determination of its motion.

When two forces unite, their efficiency double.
Isaac Newton
Image
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
Image
The Prophecies of Daniel are all of them related to one another, as if they were but several parts of one general Prophecy, given at several times. The first is the easiest to be understood, and every following Prophecy adds something new to the former.
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
Whence arises all that order and beauty we see in the world?
Isaac Newton
Image
If I am anything, which I highly doubt, I have made myself so by hard work.
Isaac Newton
Image
I do not think that this [the universe] can be explained only by natural causes, and are forced to impute to the wisdom and ingenuity of an intelligent.
Isaac Newton
Image
He who thinks half-heartedly will not believe in God but he who really thinks has to believe in God.
Isaac Newton
Image
Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors.
Isaac Newton
Image
Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my greatest friend is truth.
Isaac Newton
Image
If I had stayed for other people to make my tools and things for me, I had never made anything.
Isaac Newton
Image
All my discoveries have been made in answer to prayer.
Isaac Newton
Image
I have presented principles of philosophy that are not, however, philosophical but strictly mathematical-that is, those on which the study of philosophy can be based. These principles are the laws and conditions of motions and of forces, which especially relate to philosophy.

Oh Diamond! Diamond! thou little knowest the mischief done! [Apocryphal]
Isaac Newton
Image
When the adversaries of Erasmus had got the Trinity into his edition, they threw by their manuscript as an old almanac out of date.

Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he discovered the law of gravity. He replied, By thinking about it all the time.

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.
