Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727) was an English mathematician and physicist.

I keep the subject of my inquiry constantly before me, and wait till the first dawning opens gradually, by little and little, into a full and clear light.
Isaac Newton

I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Isaac Newton

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
Isaac Newton

Plato is my friend; Aristotle is my friend; but my greatest friend is truth.
Isaac Newton

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. It is much better to do a little with certainty, and leave the rest for others that come after you, than to explain all things by conjecture without making sure of any thing.
Isaac Newton

Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
Isaac Newton
