ISAAC NEWTON QUOTES
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.
There
is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world; and that is an idea
whose time has come.

standing on the shoulders of giants. If I have ever made any valuable
discoveries, it has been due more to patient attention, than to any other
talent

bodies but not the madness of people.
This
most beautiful system [The Universe] could only proceed from the dominion of an
intelligent and powerful Being.

dawning opens gradually, by little and little, into a full and clear light.
Tact
is the knack of making a point without making an enemy.
We
build too many walls and not enough bridges.
