Isaac Newton Quotes

If the ancient churches, in debating and deciding the greatest mysteries of religion, knew nothing of these two texts, I understand not why we should be so fond of them now the debate is over Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Centripetal force is the force by which bodies are drawn from all sides, are impelled, or in any way tend, toward some point as to a center Picture Quote #1

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age Picture Quote #1

An object that is at rest will tend to stay at rest. An object that is in motion will tend to stay in motion Picture Quote #1

Pictures, propagated by motion along the fibers of the optic nerves in the brain, are the cause of vision Picture Quote #1

Philosophy is such an impertinently litigious lady that a man had as good be engaged in lawsuits as have to do with her Picture Quote #1

You sometimes speak of gravity as essential and inherent to matter. Pray do not ascribe that notion to me, for the cause of gravity is what I do not pretend to know, and therefore would take more time to consider of it Picture Quote #1

The qualities of bodies, which admit neither intension nor remission of degrees, and which are found to belong to fill bodies within the reach of our experiments, are to be esteemed the universal qualities of all bodies whatsoever Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only a boy playing on the seashore Picture Quote #1

The latest authors, like the most ancient, strove to subordinate the phenomena of nature to the laws of mathematics Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

A body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force Picture Quote #1

The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn Picture Quote #1

Therefore to the same natural effects we must, as far as possible, assign the same causes Picture Quote #1

Therefore, the causes assigned to natural effects of the same kind must be, so far as possible, the same Picture Quote #1

Impressed force is the action exerted on a body to change its state either of resting or of moving uniformly straight forward Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

In experimental philosophy, propositions gathered from phenomena by induction should be considered either exactly or very nearly true notwithstanding any contrary hypotheses, until yet other phenomena make such propositions either more exact or liable to exceptions Picture Quote #1

Our present work sets forth mathematical principles of philosophy. For the basic problem of philosophy seems to be to discover the forces of nature from the phenomena of motions and then to demonstrate the other phenomena from these forces. It is to these ends that the general propositions in books 1 and 2 are directed, while in book 3 our explanation of the system of the world illustrates these propositions Picture Quote #1

No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

This thing is but a puny imitation of a much grander system whose laws you know, and I am not able to convince you that this mere toy is without a designer or maker; yet you profess to believe that the great original from which the design is taken has come into being without either designer or maker! Now tell me by what sort of reasoning do you reach such an incongruous conclusion? Picture Quote #1

Could we have entered into the mind of Sir Isaac Newton, and have traced all the steps by which he produced his great works, we might see nothing very extraordinary in the process Picture Quote #1

So great a contribution to physics was Two New Sciences that scholars have long maintained that the book anticipated Isaac Newton’s laws of motion Picture Quote #1

Alfred Hitchcock, Isaac Newton, Elvis Presley, Captain Bligh, they’re heroic or pathetic depending on which book you buy Picture Quote #1
