31 March: Isaac Newton quotes

Isaac Newton died on this date in 1727, so here are some quotes:

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

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

  3. No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.

  4. What goes up must come down.

  5. Live your life as an exclamation rather than an explanation.

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

  7. What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.

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

  9. The best way to understanding is a few good examples.

  10. When two forces unite, their efficiency doubles.
