- 原文:Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.
- 物體的加速度與所受的合外力成正比,與物體的質量成反比。加速度的方向與合力的方向相同。

- 原文:The alternation of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.
- 兩個物體的相互作用力總是大小相等,方向相反,同時出現或消失且作用於同一直線上。

- 原文:To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction; or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.
- 宇宙中每个质点都以一种力吸引其他各个质点。这种力与各质点的质量的乘积成正比,与它们之间距离的平方成反比。
- 出处:《自然哲學的數學原理》(1687年)牛顿万有引力定律
- 原文:every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
- 大學裡絕不會教你如何生存這事,同樣道理,大學教授們也和我們一樣,簡直對這事一無所知。
- 我不知道这个世界会如何看我,但对我自己而言我仅仅是一个在海边嬉戏的顽童,为时不时发现一粒光滑的石子或一片可爱的贝壳而欢喜,可与此同时对我面前的伟大的真理的海洋熟视无睹。(12月3日名言)
- 原文:I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, 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.
