Isaac Newton Quotes
Isaac Newton was the best physician of all time. Let me share with you some wonderful Isaac Newton Quotes.
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.
Errors are not in the art but in the artificers.
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.
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.
If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.
If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
It is the weight, not numbers of experiments that is to be regarded.
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.
To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.
To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

We build too many walls and not enough bridges.
