Quotations
2 ;;Quote: Newton--motion and rest are only relatively distinguished
10 ;;Quote: absolute time is not liable to change even though it may be impossible to measure due to accelerations; ought to be deducible
10 ;;Quote: Newton--time and space are immutable and absolute
12 ;;Quote: Newton--only space from infinity to infinity is immovable; always same relative position
17 ;;Quote: Newton's first law--a body continues in uniform motion; forces can change its state
17 ;;Quote: Newton's second law--the change of motion is proportional to the force; in the same direction
18 ;;Quote: Newton's third law--every action has equal reaction in the opposite direction
39 ;;Quote: Newton's first rule--admit only true and sufficient causes; Nature is pleased with simplicity, and affects not the pomp of superfluous causes
39 ;;Quote: Newton's second rule--assign the same causes to the same natural effects; e.g., respiration in man and beast, the light of a fire and the sun
39 ;;Quote: Newton's third rule--qualities confirmed by experiment are universal qualities of all bodies whatsoever
41 ;;Quote: Newton's fourth rule--propositions inferred from phenomena are accurate, despite contrary hypotheses; only change by other phenomena
45 ;;Quote: God constitutes duration and space; God is eternal and infinite, omnipotent and omniscient
47 ;;Quote: blind necessity could produce no variety of things; diversity is due to the ideas and will of a Being necessarily existing
48 ;;Quote: no hypotheses about the cause of gravity because of a lack of phenomena to support them
