“Amicus Plato — amicus Aristoteles — magis amica veritas. (Plato is my friend — Aristotle is my friend — but my greatest friend is truth.)”
― Isaac Newton, Quotations by Isaac Newton

“A Vulgar Mechanick can practice what he has been taught or seen done, but if he is in an error he knows not how to find it out and correct it, and if you put him out of his road he is at a stand.

(from a letter dated 25 May, 1694)”
― Isaac Newton

“That one body should act upon another through a vacuum without the mediation of anything else is so great an absurdity that no man suited to do science...can ever fall into it,.....Gravity must be caused by an agent...but whether that agent be material or immaterial I leave to my readers.”
― Isaac Newton

“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”
― Isaac Newton
