Quotes of Newton

I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

“Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion.” 

 

“Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he discovered the law of gravity. He replied, "By thinking about it all the time.”  

“To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.” 

 

“You have to make the rules, not follow them”
