Thus you may multiply each stone 4 times & no more for they will then become oyles shining in ye dark and fit for magicall uses. You may ferment them with gold and silver, by keeping the stone and metal in fusion together for a day, & then project upon metalls. This is the multiplication of ye stone in vertue. To multiply it in weight ad to it of ye first Gold whether philosophic or vulgar. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
A really good story does not answer everything. After all, life doesn't answer everything. There remain ambiguities. There remains room for doubt. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
It amounts to a diseased attitude - a conditioned reflex that shunts aside the independence of your minds whenever it is a question of opposing authority. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Instructors should not only be skilful in those sciences which they teach, but have skill in the method of teaching, and patience in the practice. ~ Isaac Watts
Isaac quotes by Isaac Watts
A gift to mankind; the next Elizabeth Taylor in the making ~ Isaac Mizrahi
Isaac quotes by Isaac Mizrahi
Once, when a religionist denounced me in unmeasured terms, I sent him a card saying, I am sure you believe that I will go to hell when I die, and that once there I will suffer all the pains and tortures the sadistic ingenuity of your deity can devise and that this torture will continue forever. Isn't that enough for you? Do you have to call me bad names in addition? ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Now I'm just standing here on the conveyor. Along for the ride. I reach the end, turn around, and go back the other way. The world has been distilled. Being dead is easy. After a few hours of this, I notice a female on the opposite conveyor. She doesn't lurch or groan like most of us. Her head just lolls from side to side. I like that about her. That she doesn't lurch or groan. I catch her eye and stare at her. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
Isaac, tell your girlfriend she can't bring weapons into holy-shit-your-spider's-on-fire! ~ Jim C. Hines
Isaac quotes by Jim C. Hines
Hush! my dear, lie still and slumber, Holy angels guard thy bed! Heavenly blessing without number Gently falling on thy head. ~ Isaac Watts
Isaac quotes by Isaac Watts
Every body persists in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces having impact upon it. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
That's why we have memory. And the opposite of memory - hope. So things that are gone can still matter. So we can built off our pasts and make future. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
Khepra was asserted to have generated and caused to come into existence, itself through itself, it united in itself, the male and female principles of life. ~ Isaac Myer
Isaac quotes by Isaac Myer
Scientific truth is beyond loyalty and disloyalty. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Enthusiasm is that secret and harmonious spirit which hovers over the production of genius. ~ Isaac D'Israeli
Isaac quotes by Isaac D'Israeli
Mathematicians deal with large numbers sometimes, but never in their income. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Humanity is cutting down its forests, apparently oblivious to the fact that we may not be able to live without them. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
If you cannot close the mouth of one who reviles his brother, at least avoid conversation with him. ~ Isaac Of Nineveh
Isaac quotes by Isaac Of Nineveh
It is a fact that the classics of Yiddish literature are also the classics of the modern Hebrew literature. ~ Isaac Bashevis Singer
Isaac quotes by Isaac Bashevis Singer
You might say that death has relaxed me. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
You mean that this is a matter of patriotism and traders aren't patriotic?"
"Notoriously not. Pioneers never are. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Enough white lies can scorch the earth black. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
My mind has cleared a little; I've regained some instincts and associations, echoes of the Living world if not actual memories. Those I still have to steal. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
Do not spend the day in gathering flowers by the way side, lest night come upon you before you arrive at your journey's end, and then you will not reach it. ~ Isaac Watts
Isaac quotes by Isaac Watts
Where history concerns mainly personalities, the drawings become either black or white according to the interests of the writer. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
when the old empire began to rot at the fringes, it could be considered that science, as science, had failed the outer worlds. To be re-accepted it would have to present itself in another guise ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
A burdened heart doesn't equate to a lack of faith. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob can heal with a simple command. The burden comes from wondering if that's His will and may it be done. ~ Donna Lynn Hope
Isaac quotes by Donna Lynn Hope
OUR ORDINATION:

Sir Isaac Newton, 1642 – 1747
About the times of the End, a body of men will be raised up who will turn their attention to the prophecies, and insist upon their literal interpretation, in the midst of much clamor and opposition. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
My powers are ordinary. Only my application brings me success. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
Can't you try>? However useless the effort may seem to you to be, have you anything better to do with your life? Have you some worthier goal? Have you a purpose that will justify you in your own eyes to some greater extent? ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
The truth, to the overwhelming majority of mankind, is indistinguishable from a headache. ~ Isaac Hooke
Isaac quotes by Isaac Hooke
Radiation, unlike smoking, drinking, and overeating, gives no pleasure, so the possible victims object. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Custom is second nature. Be accustomed to a bald head, sufficiently accustomed, and hair on it would seem monstrous. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
What is there in places empty of matter? and Whence is it that the sun and planets gravitate toward one another without dense matter between them? Whence is it that Nature doth nothing in vain? and Whence arises all that order and beauty which we see in the world? To what end are comets? and Whence is it that planets move all one and the same way in orbs concentrick, while comets move all manner of ways in orbs very excentrick? and What hinders the fixed stars from falling upon one another? ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
I wouldn't mind seeing The Smiths reform. That would be cool. ~ Oscar Isaac
Isaac quotes by Oscar Isaac
There is a plan to this universe. There is a high intelligence, maybe even a purpose, but it's given to us on the installment plan. ~ Isaac Bashevis Singer
Isaac quotes by Isaac Bashevis Singer
It wasn't like I ever said, 'I want to be an actor.' I was in the right place at the right time. I went to a local drama group because I found football on the weekends too cold - which is highly ironic because I've had some of the coldest experiences of my life filming 'Game of Thrones.' ~ Isaac Hempstead-Wright
Isaac quotes by Isaac Hempstead-Wright
The worst thing about working retail is that your friends get chosen for you by management. It's the scariest thing about working in the service industry: your coworkers reflect your own failure. ~ Isaac Jourden
Isaac quotes by Isaac Jourden
Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Infinites, when considered absolutely without any restriction or limitation, are neither equal nor unequal, nor have any certain proportion one to another, and therefore, the principle that all infinites are equal is a precarious one. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
The smaller the planets are, they are, other things being equal, of so much the greater density; for so the powers of gravity on their several surfaces come nearer to equality. They are likewise, other things being equal, of the greater density, as they are nearer to the sun. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
We sit against the tiles of the bathroom wall with our legs sprawled out in front of us, passing the brain back and forth, taking small, leisurely bites and enjoying brief flashes of human experience.
'Good ... shit,' M wheezes. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
I guess some things are just meant to be broken. ~ Kara Isaac
Isaac quotes by Kara Isaac
There is nothing so eternally adhesive as the memory of power. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
It's more eerie to be alone in a city that's lit up and functioning than one that's a tomb. If everything were silent, one could almost pretend to be in nature. A forest. A meadow. Crickets and birdsong. But the corpse of civilization is as restless as the creatures that now roam the graveyards. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
This is life's greatest moment, when the soul unfolds capacities which reach beyond earth's boundaries. ~ Isaac Hecker
Isaac quotes by Isaac Hecker
I never considered myself a patriot. I like to think I recognize only humanity as my nation. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Christians have oppressed Jews, Moslems, Buddhists, Pagans, and each other throughout their centuries of power, preaching religious intolerance as the word of Jehovah whenever they had the military, political, or economic power to make it stick - and then piously preaching brotherhood, peace, and toleration when they didn't. ~ Isaac Bonewits
Isaac quotes by Isaac Bonewits
Feeling angry is a universal human phenomenon. It is as basic as feeling hungry, lonely, loving, or tired. The capacity to feel angry and to respond in some way to that feeling is in us from birth. ~ Theodore Isaac Rubin
Isaac quotes by Theodore Isaac Rubin
In front of a big aluminum building with a plywood cross on the roof, I kneel in a puddle and splash water on my face. I wash my mouth out with dirty gutter runoff and spit until I can't taste anything. That holy wooden "t" looms overhead, and I wonder if the Lord might ever find cause to approve of me, wherever and whatever he is.
Have you met him yet, Perry? Is he alive and well? Tell me he's not just the mouth of the sky. Tell me there's more looking down on us than that empty blue skull. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
For one drop calls another down, till we are drowned in seas of grief. ~ Isaac Watts
Isaac quotes by Isaac Watts
At the Arrivals gate, we are greeted by a small crowd, watching us with hungry eyes or eyesockets. We drop our cargo on the floor: two mostly intact men, a few meaty legs, and a dismembered torso, all still warm. Call it leftovers. Call it takeout. Our fellow Dead fall on them and feast right there on the floor like animals. The life remaining in those cells will keep them from full-dying, but the Dead who don't hunt will never quite be satisfied. Like men at sea deprived of fresh fruit, they will wither in their deficiencies, weak and perpetually empty, because the new hunger is a lonely monster. It grudgingly accepts the brown meat and lukewarm blood, but what it craves is closeness, that grim sense of connection that courses between their eyes and ours in those final moments, like some dark negative of love. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
Any planet is 'Earth' to those that live on it. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Five common traits of good writers: (1) They have something to say. (2) They read widely and have done so since childhood. (3) They possess what Isaac Asimov calls a "capacity for clear thought," able to go from point to point in an orderly sequence, an A to Z approach. (4) They're geniuses at putting their emotions into words. (5) They possess an insatiable curiosity, constantly asking Why and How. ~ James J. Kilpatrick
Isaac quotes by James J. Kilpatrick
My ideal man is Benjamin Franklin - the figure in American history most worthy of emulation ... Franklin is my ideal of a whole man ... Where are the life-size - or even pint-size - Benjamin Franklins of today? ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isaac quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
I've never hanged a man. It is the law that has done it. ~ Isaac Parker
Isaac quotes by Isaac Parker
Human beings sometimes find a kind of pleasure in nursing painful emotions, in blaming themselves without reason or even against reason. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Blind metaphysical necessity, which is certainly the same always and every where, could produce no variety of things. All that diversity of natural things which we find suited to different times and places could arise from nothing but the ideas and will of a Being, necessarily existing. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
I am ashamed to tell you to how many figures I carried these calculations [of Pi], having no other business at the time ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
Our generation is wonderful generation, full of wonder. It's very hard to find an example of it in all our history. Composed of contradictions - light and darkness mixed. ~ Abraham Isaac Kook
Isaac quotes by Abraham Isaac Kook
Pions are the mediating particles of the strong nuclear interaction. The intensity of the interaction depends on the mass of the pions and that mass can, under certain specialized conditions, be altered. The Lunar physicists have developed an instrument they call the Pionizer, which can be made to do jut such a thing. Once the pion's mass is decreased, or increased for that matter, it is, effectively, part of another Universe; it becomes a gateway, a crossing point. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Clarke's First Law - Corollary: When, however, the lay public rallies round an idea that is denounced by distinguished but elderly scientists and supports that idea with great fervor and emotion - the distinguished but elderly scientists are then, after all, probably right. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
[1.] And first I suppose that there is diffused through all places an aethereal substance capable of contraction & dilatation, strongly elastick, & in a word, much like air in all respects, but far more subtile. 2. I suppose this aether pervades all gross bodies, but yet so as to stand rarer in their pores then in free spaces, & so much ye rarer as their pores are less ... 3. I suppose ye rarer aether within bodies & ye denser without them, not to be terminated in a mathematical superficies, but to grow gradually into one another. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
A Marxist has never written a good novel. ~ Isaac Bashevis Singer
Isaac quotes by Isaac Bashevis Singer
Whene'er I take my walks abroad,How many poor I see!What shall I render to my GodFor all his gifts to me? ~ Isaac Watts
Isaac quotes by Isaac Watts
No iron spike can pierce a human heart as icily as a period in the right place. ~ Isaac Babel
Isaac quotes by Isaac Babel
For it became him [God] who created them [the atoms] to set them in order. And if he did so, it's unphilosophical to seek for any other Origin of the World, or to pretend that it might arise out of a Chaos by the mere Laws of Nature. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
Newton supposed that the case of the planet was similar to that of [a ball spun around on the end of an elastic string]; that it was always pulled in the direction of the sun, and that this attraction or pulling of the sun produced the revolution of the planet, in the same way that the traction or pulling of the elastic string produces the revolution of the ball. What there is between the sun and the planet that makes each of them pull the other, Newton did not know; nobody knows to this day; and all we are now able to assert positively is that the known motion of the planet is precisely what would be produced if it were fastened to the sun by an elastic string, having a certain law of elasticity. Now observe the nature of this discovery, the greatest in its consequences that has ever yet been made in physical science: -

I. It begins with an hypothesis, by supposing that there is an analogy between the motion of a planet and the motion of a ball at the end of a string.

II. Science becomes independent of the hypothesis, for we merely use it to investigate the properties of the motion, and do not trouble ourselves further about the cause of it. ~ William Kingdon Clifford
Isaac quotes by William Kingdon Clifford
God has made us study partner. We need to talk about our project. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
What happened to the world was gradual. I've forgotten what it actually was, but I have faint, fetal memories of what it was like. A smoldering dread that never really caught fire till there wasn't much left to burn. Each sequential step surprised us. Then one day we woke up, and everything was gone. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
I swore with his newfound love of bathing, I would see Isaac in human clothes next. If he started wearing skinny jeans, I would have to intervene. ~ Ashlan Thomas
Isaac quotes by Ashlan Thomas
Education isn't something you can finish ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
When one looks truly at the good side of everyone, others come to love him very naturally, and he does not need even a speck of flattery. ~ Abraham Isaac Kook
Isaac quotes by Abraham Isaac Kook
I'm an indoors person. I'm not afraid of the outdoors and I penetrate it easily and cheerfully. However, I must admit I like Central Park better than the wilderness, and I like the canyons of Manhattan better than Central Park, and I like the interior of my apartment better than the canyons of Manhattan, and I like my two rooms better with the shades down at all times than with the shades up. I'm not an agoraphobe at all, but I am a claustrophile, if you see the distinction. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
The submissive will make it through to that final scene, for the word of God will lead the man and woman of Christ "in a straight and narrow course across that everlasting gulf of misery ... and land their souls ... at the right hand of God in the kingdom, to sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and with Jacob, and with all our holy fathers" (Helaman 3:30) "who have been ever since the world began ... to go no more out." ~ Neal A. Maxwell
Isaac quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
Lord Dorwin, gentlemen, in five days of discussion didn't say one damned thing, and said it so you never noticed. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar
results. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
One cannot simply perceive everything, to be able to perceive everything would be to tedious ~ Isaac Thomas
Isaac quotes by Isaac Thomas
One of my first days shooting on 'Game of Thrones' was possibly the coldest day I've ever experienced in my life, and that sticks out especially because I'd never, ever done anything before. ~ Isaac Hempstead-Wright
Isaac quotes by Isaac Hempstead-Wright
But life is glorious when it is happy; days are carefree when they are happy; the interplay of thought and imagination is far and superior to that of muscle and sinew. Let me tell you, if you don't know it from your own experience, that reading a good book, losing yourself in the interest of words and thoughts, is for some people (me, for instance) an incredible intensity of happiness. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
Even though I grew up as a Sephardic Jew in Brooklyn where we ate Syrian food and went to temple, it was still America. ~ Isaac Mizrahi
Isaac quotes by Isaac Mizrahi
Happy the man when he has not the defects of his qualities. ~ Isaac D'Israeli
Isaac quotes by Isaac D'Israeli
There was a jolly miller once, Lived on the River Dee; He worked and sang, from morn to night; No lark so blithe as he. And this the burden of his song, Forever used to be, I care for nobody, not I, If no one cares for me. ~ Isaac Bickerstaffe
Isaac quotes by Isaac Bickerstaffe
Why, they are so sure of themselves that they do not even hurry. They move slowly, phlegmatically; they speak of necessary centuries. They swallow worlds at leisure; creep through systems with dawdling complacence. ~ Isaac Asimov
Isaac quotes by Isaac Asimov
I'm sorry I can't properly introduce myself, but I don't have a name anymore. Hardly any of us do. We lose them like car keys, forget them like anniversaries. ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
Far from being the crown of human thought and religion as its supporters have claimed for several bloody millennia, [monotheism] is in fact a monstrous step backwards
a step that has been responsible for more human misery than any other idea in known history. ~ Isaac Bonewits
Isaac quotes by Isaac Bonewits
Birds in their little nests agree; And 'tis a shameful sight When children of one family Fall out, and chide, and fight. ~ Isaac Watts
Isaac quotes by Isaac Watts
Though the house itself was a fortress, still, Isaac Penn had thought to make sure that anyone who did manage to break in would be kept busy. Thus the vault was not a vault but rather a solid plug of molybdenum steel which extended into the wall for five feet. ~ Mark Helprin
Isaac quotes by Mark Helprin
Are my words ever actually audible, or do they just echo in my head while people stare at me, waiting? ~ Isaac Marion
Isaac quotes by Isaac Marion
To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. Tis much better to do a little with certainty & leave the rest for others that come after than to explain all things by conjecture without making sure of any thing. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
Suddenly, there was an enormous flash of light, the brightest light I have ever seen or that I think anyone has ever seen. It blasted; it pounced; it bored its way into you. It was a vision which was seen with more than the eye. It was seen to last forever. You would wish it would stop; altogether it lasted about two seconds.
[Witnessing the first atomic bomb test explosion.] ~ Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isaac quotes by Isidor Isaac Rabi
Isaac knows how stupid i find these things, and he finds them just as stupid as i do. like lol. now, if there's anything stupider than buddy lists, it's lol. if anyone ever uses lol with me, i rip my computer right out of the wall and smash it over the nearest head. i mean, it's not like anyone's laughing out loud about the things they lol. i think it should be spelled loll, like what a lobotomized person's tongue does. loll. loll. i can't think any more. loll. loll! ~ David Levithan
Isaac quotes by David Levithan
The Moon is such a planet I can't even stand it. ~ Isaac Mizrahi
Isaac quotes by Isaac Mizrahi
I'd go back and hang out with Isaac Newton. I'm torn between do I hang out with him or do I bring him into the present to hang out with me. See, that might be terrifying because his head will just explode once he sees everything that was derived from his discoveries, but I'd spend more time with someone who I think is one of the most brilliant minds our species has ever known. ~ Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Isaac quotes by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
God gave the prophecies, not to gratify men's curiosity by enabling them to fore know things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and His own providence, not the interpreters, be thereby manifested to the world. ~ Isaac Newton
Isaac quotes by Isaac Newton
A hermit who has been shut up in his cell in a college has contracted a sort of mould and rust upon his soul. ~ Isaac Watts
Isaac quotes by Isaac Watts
Diplomacy is to do and say, the nastiest things in the nicest way. ~ Isaac Goldberg
Isaac quotes by Isaac Goldberg
It's just that most really good-looking people are stupid, so I exceed expectations.'
'Right, it's primarily his hotness,' I said.
'It can be sort of blinding,' he said.
'It actually did blind our friend Isaac,' I said.
'Terrible tragedy, that. But can I help my own deadly beauty?'
'You cannot.'
'It is my burden, this beautiful face.'
'Not to mention your body.'
'Seriously, don't even get me started on my hot bod. You don't want to see me naked, Dave. Seeing me naked actually took Hazel Grace's breath away,' he said, nodding toward the oxygen tank. ~ John Green
Isaac quotes by John Green
The more relaxed you can get, the better you'll do. ~ Isaac Mizrahi
Isaac quotes by Isaac Mizrahi
Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain. ~ Isaac Asimov
