Isaac Newton Quotes:- Isaac Newton PRS FRS was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author who is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time, and a key figure in the scientific revolution.
Isaac Newton was born, premature and tiny, in 1642 in Woolsthorpe, England. His father, wealthy but uneducated, died before Newton was born, and he ended up being raised by his grandmother after his mother remarried.
He worked as a servant to pay his bills. And he kept a journal about his ideas. It’s said he didn’t excel at school, but he ended up studying law at Trinity College Cambridge, part of Cambridge University.
Isaac Newton is synonymous with apples and gravity. He rose to become the most influential scientist of the 17th century, his ideas becoming the foundation of modern physics, after very humble beginnings.
But first, the big question: Did an apple really fall on Newton’s head and spur him to figure out gravity? Historians say there is likely no more than a grain of truth to the story.
Insightful Quotes By Sir Isaac Newton

Inspirational Isaac Newton Quotes On Success

Brilliant Quotes of Sir Isaac Newton
“If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.”-Isaac Newton
“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”-Isaac Newton
“If the experiments which I urge be defective, it cannot be difficult to show the defects; but if valid, then by proving the theory, they must render all objections invalid.”-Isaac Newton

Famous Isaac Newton Quotes Experiments
“It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is” to be regarded.”-Isaac Newton
“It may be that there is no such thing as an equable motion, whereby time may be accurately measured. All motions may be accelerated or retarded, but the true, or equable, the progress” of absolute time is liable to no change.”-Isaac Newton
“My powers are ordinary. Only my application brings me success.”-Isaac Newton
“Nothing can be divided into more parts than it can possibly be constituted of. But matter (i.e. finite) cannot be constituted of infinite parts.”-Isaac Newton

“The best and safest method of philosophizing seems to be first to inquire diligently into the properties of things, and establishing those properties by experiments, and then to proceed more slowly to hypotheses for the explanation of them.”-Isaac Newton
“The center” of the system of the world is immovable.”-Isaac Newton
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.”-Isaac Newton
Isaac Newton quotes about Gravity
“The hypothesis of matter’s being at first evenly spread through the heavens is, in my opinion, inconsistent with the hypothesis of innate gravity without a supernatural power to reconcile them, and therefore, it infers a deity.”-Isaac Newton
“The Ignis Fatuus is a vapor shining without heat.”-Isaac Newton
“The moon gravitates towards the earth and by the force of gravity is continually drawn off from a rectilinear motion and retained in its orbit.”-Isaac Newton
“The motions of the comets are exceedingly regular, and they observe the same laws as the motions of the planets, but they differ from the motions of vortices in every particular and are often contrary to them.”-Isaac Newton

“The motions which the planets now have could not spring from any natural cause alone, but were impressed by an intelligent Agent.”-Isaac Newton
“The proper method for inquiring after the properties of things is to deduce them from experiments.”-Isaac Newton
“The word ‘God’ usually signifies ‘Lord’, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.”-Isaac Newton
