Isaac Newton Quotes

Created by: Lee Sonogan

More quotes from a man from history. Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and an author. He is known for universal gravitation, optics, calculus and much more. For a man in the 16th century, it seems that every one hundred years we have a few key people who were geniuses. Newton would tell the story of an apple falling from a tree giving him inspiration for his work on gravity. However, there is no evidence he was actually hit by an apple.

  • “What we know is a drop, what we don’t know is an ocean.” – Isaac Newton

As I believe I have said before, history allows us to better understand modern day concepts better and much more! He remained single throughout his life, being too absorbed in his studies for romance. This may have led him to success in all the fields he tried. But, maybe it caused him to suffer two nervous breakdown in his life time.
