Newton Quotes

Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why Picture Quote #1

I think Newton would be the greatest scientist who ever lived Picture Quote #1

Newton expected no money from establishing his originality but rather desired recognition for his excellence 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

Everyone knows Newton as the great scientist. Few remember that he spent half his life muddling with alchemy , looking for the philosopher’s stone. That was the pebble by the seashore he really wanted to find Picture Quote #1

Amazing Grace’ is about the man who wrote ‘Amazing Grace,’ John Newton. It’s a really great show - I have been workshopping it for a while now, actually Picture Quote #1

People always talk about the implication and applications of a process, but for me, the goal is purely about knowledge. Knowledge can become practical today, in 20 years, or in 500 years. Ask Newton. He didn’t know there would be space research based on his accident with the apple Picture Quote #1

Newton had a very good description of gravity, back in the day, and then Einstein came along and dug a little bit deeper. Science is like peeling an onion. You go deeper and deeper and deeper, and it doesn’t stop. It’s not like you will get to a right answer Picture Quote #1

Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood Picture Quote #1

Misunderstood! It is a right fool’s word. Is it so bad then to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood Picture Quote #1

Taking mathematics from the beginning of the world to the time when Newton lived, what he had done was much the better half Picture Quote #1

Mr Newton, a fellow of our College, and very young, being but the second year master of arts; but of an extraordinary genius and proficiency Picture Quote #1

I remember from my school days Archimedes jumping into his bath and displacing water and coming up with his famous principle, and of course Isaac Newton being hit on the head with an apple. In other words, this realm of human knowledge - which is mathematical, essentially - can have a playful visual element to it Picture Quote #1

In 50 years - or 20 years, or 200 years - our current epistemic horizon (the Big Bang, roughly) may look as parochial as the horizon Newton had to settle for in his day, but no doubt there will still be good questions whose answers elude us Picture Quote #1

..if a special geometry has to be invented in order to account for a falling apple, even Newton might be appalled at the complications which would ensue when really difficult problems are tackled Picture Quote #1

Both Newton and Darwin were driven by the data and were forced to recognize that they couldn’t explain everything. It may be a characteristic of great scientists to know what to accept and what to leave out Picture Quote #1

I love Thandie Newton. I love her fashion sense as she is just really classic Picture Quote #1

It is just physics - who can argue with Newton and the first law of thermodynamics? Picture Quote #1

The suspect nature of these stories can be seen in the anecdote Jefferson told of Hamilton visiting his lodging in 1792 and inquiring about three portraits on the wallThey are my trinity of the three greatest men the world has ever produced, Jefferson replied: Sir Francis Bacon, Sir Isaac Newton, and John Locke. Hamilton supposedly replied, The greatest man that ever lived was Julius Casar Picture Quote #1

Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night:God said, Let Newton be! and all was light Picture Quote #1

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light! Picture Quote #1

‘Amazing Grace’ is about the man who wrote ‘Amazing Grace,’ John Newton. It’s a really great show - I have been workshopping it for a while now, actually Picture Quote #1

There is no need to worry about mere size. We do not necessarily respect a fat man more than a thin man. Sir Isaac Newton was very much smaller than a hippopotamus, but we do not on that account value him less Picture Quote #1

It takes a Newton to forge a Newton. What man could have fabricated a Jesus? None but a Jesus Picture Quote #1

Newton found that a star, examined through a glass tarnished by smoke, was diminished into a speck of light. But no smoke ever breathed so thick a mist as envy or detraction Picture Quote #1

Newton was a genius, but not because of the superior computational power of his brain. Newton’s genius was, on the contrary, his ability to simplify, idealize, and streamline the world so that it became, in some measure, tractable to the brains of perfectly ordinary men Picture Quote #1

Attention makes the genius; all learning, fancy, science and skills depend upon it. Newton traced his discoveries to it. It builds bridges, opens new worlds, heals diseases, carries on the business of the world. Without it taste is useless, and the beauties of literature unobserved Picture Quote #1

Modesty teaches us to speak of the ancients with respect, especially when we are not very familiar with their works. Newton, who knew them practically by heart, had the greatest respect for them, and considered them to be men of genius and superior intelligence who had carried their discoveries in every field much further than we today suspect, judging from what remains of their writings. More ancient writings have been lost than have been preserved, and perhaps our new discoveries are of less value than those that we have lost Picture Quote #1

Newton was not the first of the age of reason, he was the last of the magicians Picture Quote #1

Newton, of course, was the inventor of differential calculus so his place in the tale is quite special Picture Quote #1
