Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he discovered the law of gravity. He replied, "By thinking about it all the time.

Sir Isaac Newton was questioned as to how he uncovered the law of gravity. He responded, "Through constant contemplation."

There have been only three epoch-making mathematicians, Archimedes, Newton, and Eisenstein.
Carl Friedrich Gauss

I wanted to be an inventor, whatever I thought that meant then. I guess I was thinking of Edison or maybe James Watt. Or maybe even Newton.
David Antin

Bradman is a whole class above any batsman who has ever lived: if Archimedes, Newton and Gauss remain in the Hobbs class, I have to admit the possibility of a class above them, which I find difficult to imagine. They had better be moved from now on into the Bradman class.
G. H. Hardy

The greatest mathematicians, as Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss, always united theory and applications in equal measure.
Felix Klein

Newton was the greatest genius that ever existed, and the most fortunate, for we cannot find more than once a system of the world to establish.
Joseph-Louis Lagrange

I passed a typing test and became a member of the staff of Rear Adm. Newton.

If one looks at the works of Newton to Einstein, they were never scientists in the way modernity understands the term.
Bruno Latour

In England it was enough that Newton was the greatest mathematican of his century; in France he would have been expected to be agreeable too.
Jean le Rond d'Alembert

Einstein ... always spoke to me of Rutherford in the highest terms, calling him a second Newton.

Las Vegas without Wayne Newton is like Disneyland without Mickey Mouse.

If I ask you who is the most famous scientist who ever lived, or the greatest scientist who ever lived you'll say either Einstein or Newton or something like that because their claims were supposed to apply universally. But the claim of somebody who is studying a particular feature of the evolutionary process like whether it's very fast or very slow, or occurs in steps and so on, that's not a universal claim, that's a rather specialised claim and so you can't claim to great fame and great success.

Like Robert Mapplethorpe, Helmut Newton, and so many others before me, sexual imagery has always been a part of my photography.

Along with William Shakespeare and Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin is Britain's greatest gift to the world. He was our greatest thinker.
Richard Dawkins

The great Sir Isaac Newton, He once made a valid proclamation, That the forces equal to a nominated mass, when multiplied by acceleration That was the law of motion.
Richard Digance

It is strongly suspected that a NEWTON or SHAKESPEARE excels other mortals only by a more ample development of the anterior cerebral lobes, by having an extra inch of brain in the right place.
Sir William Lawrence, 1st Baronet

I think Newton would be the greatest scientist who ever lived.

1/r^2 has a nasty singularity at r=0, but it did not bother Newton-the Moon is far enough.

I am a figure skater, which helps me appreciate Newton's theory of mechanics.

You don't discard Newton. Newton becomes the limiting case of how you would apply Einstein's theories.
Neil deGrasse Tyson

Both Newton and Darwin were driven by the data and were forced to recognize that they couldn't explain everything. It may be a characteristic of great scientists to know what to accept and what to leave out.
Lewis Wolpert

If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

The Church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity.
J. I. Packer

You all know Newt Gingrich. Newt is short for Newton. People say if that's the case, what is Mitt short for? It's short for 'Mittens.'
David Letterman

Newton came up with Newton's laws of motion and gravity. They worked. They were working.
Neil deGrasse Tyson

The recurrence during the eighteenth century Enlightenment of the aspiration to be the 'Newton of the moral sciences' testifies to the prestige not just of celestial mechanics, but of the 'experimental method' more generally.
Stefan Collini

So, did you stab Edward Cullen with a pencil or what? I've never seen him act like that.
Stephenie Meyer

What Galileo and Newton were to the seventeenth century, Darwin was to the nineteenth.
Bertrand Russell

I do not mind at all that Newton is not a Cartesian provided he does not offer us suppositions like that of attraction.
Christiaan Huygens

Accelerometrics is a cool new discipline. Newton and Galileo would love it.

AMAZING GRACE is about the man who wrote "Amazing Grace," John Newton. It's a really great show - I have been workshopping it for a while now, actually.
Josh Young

Newton, Einstein, and every other great scientist in history...They all made mistakes. Of course they did. They're human! Science is a way to keep from fooling ourselves and each other.
Neil deGrasse Tyson

It's your life story if you're a mathematician: every time you discover something neat, you discover that Gauss or Newton knew it in his crib.
Bill Gosper

If you look at Einstein's equations and put in low speeds and low gravity, they become Newton's equations.

I trust Winsor and Newton and I paint directly upon it.
Edward Hopper

For other great mathematicians or philosophers, he [Gauss] used the epithets magnus, or clarus, or clarissimus; for Newton alone he kept the prefix summus.
W. W. Rouse Ball

I love Thandie Newton. I love her fashion sense as she is just really classic.
Leona Lewis

I remember one of the first things Helmut Newton on one of his last shoots, in 2004, said was that he couldn't believe how thin I was. He was like, "Whatever happened to women?" He also made me wear rubber nipples. It was amazing to be in a situation where you have to create but you don't feel any pressure. He had such confidence that it made things really easy. There's a natural sort of process of something coming to life, which I really liked. It was like, "We're here, and let's make you lay on a bed of nails." But it didn't seem contrived or overly thought-out. It was easy.

I have given up newspapers in exchange for Tacitus and Thucydides, for Newton and Euclid; and I find myself much the happier.
