Gravity is a response to geometry.

Even a fool is wise after an event.

The individual who has experienced solitude will not easily become a victim of mass suggestion.

Creating a new theory is not like destroying an old barn and erecting a skyscraper in its place. It is rather like climbing a mountain and gaining new and wider views.

Newton did not know what happened to the apple, and I can prove this when the next eclipse comes.

Nonsense, seems to sum up everything.
