He was physicist and the greatest English mathematician of his generation. He laid the foundation for differential and integral
calculus. His work on optics and gravitation make him one of the greatest scientists the world has known.
Newton's greatest achievement was his work in physics and celestial mechanics, which culminated in the theory of universal gravitation.
By 1666 Newton had early versions of his three laws of motion. He had also discovered the law giving the centrifugal force on a body
moving uniformly in a circular path.
(1643 - 1727)
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.
~ Isaac Newton
To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.
~ Isaac Newton
I do not feign hypotheses.
~ Isaac Newton
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.
~ Isaac Newton
If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent.
~ Isaac Newton
To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.
~ Isaac Newton
If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
~ Isaac Newton
We build too many walls and not enough bridges.
~ Isaac Newton
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
~ Isaac Newton
No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.
~ Isaac Newton
If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.
~ Isaac Newton
I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself 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
To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.
~ Isaac Newton
We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances.
~ Isaac Newton
It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.
~ Isaac Newton
Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.
~ Isaac Newton
German born American physicist who developed the special and general theories of relativity and received Nobel Prize in physics.
His many contributions include general and special relativity, photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, mass-energy equivalence,
Einstein field equations, Unified Field Theory, Bose–Einstein statistics.
He is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time.
(1879-1955)
After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
~ Nelson Mandela
A man never tells you anything until you contradict him.
~ George Bernard Shaw
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
