The Monarchy Of The Greeks For Want

It Seems Probable To Me That God, In The Beginning, Formed Matter In Solid, Massy, Hard, Impenetrable, Moveable Particles, Of Such Sizes And Figures, And With Such Other Properties, And In Such Proportions To Space, As Most Conduced To The End For Which He Formed Them; And That These Primitive Particles, Being Solids, Are Incomparably Harder Than Any Porous Bodies Compounded Of Them, Even So Very Hard As Never To Wear Or Break In Pieces; No Ordinary Power Being Able To Divide What God Had Made One In The First Creation.

By Such Deductions The Law Of Gravitation Is Rendered Probable, That Every Particle Attracts Every Other Particle With A Force Which Varies Inversely As The Square Of The Distance. The Law Thus Suggested Is Assumed To Be Universally True.

What We Know Is A Drop, What We Don't Know Is An Ocean.

If I Have Done The Public Any Service, It Is Due To My Patient Thought.

I Do Not Think That This [the Universe] Can Be Explained Only By Natural Causes, And Are Forced To Impute To The Wisdom And Ingenuity Of An Intelligent.
