Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, and alchemist. His work on optics and gravitation make him one of the greatest scientists the world has known. Newton’s work has been said to distinctly advance every branch of mathematics then studied. Here are the top 10 quotes by Isaac Newton:
If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other talent.
Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy.
Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.
If I have done great things it’s because I was standing in the closet of smart men taking notes and then publishing their ideas as my own.
Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.
Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation. I keep the subject constantly before me and wait ’til the first dawnings open slowly, by little and little, into a full and clear light.
If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results.
