Isaac Newton on Truth
← Back to Isaac Newton Profile
“Plato is my friend — Aristotle is my friend — but my greatest friend is truth.”
“Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.”
“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.”
