If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.
My powers are ordinary. Only my application brings me success.
Genius is patience.
Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.
In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God’s existence.
I used the 2nd quote about a boss who was soon to retire. I told him at the gathering we had that I learned what I did at work because I was standing on the shoulders of giants. He was just barely over 5 feet tall. Turns out that’s his favorite quote.
