“In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.”

On the Book of Revelation…
“The folly of Interpreters [of the Book of Revelation] has been, to foretell times and things by this Prophecy, as if God designed to make them Prophets. By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the Prophecy also into contempt. The design of God was much otherwise. He gave this and the Prophecies of the Old Testament, not to gratify men’s curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and his own Providence, not the Interpreters, be then manifested thereby to the world. “

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

“It is the perfection of God’s works that they are all done with the greatest simplicity. He is the God of order and not of confusion.”

“Plato is my friend — Aristotle is my friend — but my greatest friend is Truth.”

“I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.”

And a bit of physics…

1. Laws of Motion, I: “Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.”

2. Laws of Motion, II: “The alternation of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.”

3. Laws of Motion, III: “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.”
