← All quotes by Isaac Newton

3 quotes

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

Plato is my friend — Aristotle is my friend — but my greatest friend is truth.

I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
