牛顿那个“站在巨人的肩膀上”的名言的全文是什么？

我知道的部分“如果说我看得比别人更远些，那是因为我站在巨人的肩膀上。”前面应该还有一部分什么“在海边捡贝壳的孩子”之类的。上物理课的时候老师说过这一整段，但是没有记住。

Answer 1

这是两句名言，分别是：

1、我不知道在别人看来，我是什么样的人，但在我自己看来，我不过就像是一个在海滨玩耍的小孩，为不时发现比寻常更为光滑的一块卵石或比寻常更为美丽的一片贝壳而沾沾自喜，而对于展现在我面前的浩瀚的真理的海洋，却全然没有发现。---牛顿

2、如果说我比别人（笛卡尔）看得更远些，那是因为我站在了巨人的肩上。---牛顿

牛顿的其他名言：

1、我并没有什么方法，只是对于一件事情很长时间很热心地去考虑罢了。

2、谦虚对于优点犹如图画中的阴影，会使之更加有力，更加突出。

3、每一个目标，我都要它停留在我眼前，从第一线曙光初现开始，一直保留，慢慢展开，直到整个大地一片光明为止。

4、没有大胆的猜测就作不出伟大的发现。

5、如果说我对世界有些微贡献的话，那不是由于别的，而是由于我的辛勤耐久的思索所致。

6、聪明人之所以不会成功，是由于他们缺乏坚韧的毅力。

7、有时候，爱情就像是树上的一只苹果，当你无意中散步到树下的时候，它可能一下子就掉下来砸在你的头上！

8、你若想获得知识，你该下苦功；你若想获得食物，你该下苦功；你若想得到快乐，你也该下苦功，因为辛苦是获得一切的定律。

我不知道在别人看来，我是什么样的人；但在我自己看来，我不过就象是一个在海滨玩耍的小孩，为不时发现比寻常更为光滑的一块卵石或比寻常更为美丽的一片贝壳而沾沾自喜，而对于展现在我面前的浩瀚的真理的海洋，却全然没有发现。

from the same principles, I now demonstrate the frame of the System of the World.
Principia Mathematica.

Hypotheses non fingo.
I feign no hypotheses.
Principia Mathematica.

To explain all nature is too difficult a task for any one man or even for any one age. `Tis much better to do a little with certainty, and leave the rest for others that come after you, than to explain all things.
Quoted in G Simmons Calculus Gems (New York 1992).

The description of right lines and circles, upon which geometry is founded, belongs to mechanics. Geometry does not teach us to draw these lines, but requires them to be drawn.
Principia Mathematica.

The latest authors, like the most ancient, strove to subordinate the phenomena of nature to the laws of mathematics.

[His epitaph:]
Who, by vigor of mind almost divine, the motions and figures of the planets, the paths of comets, and the tides of the seas first demonstrated.

If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants.
Letter to Robert Hooke

I know not what I 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, whilest the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Quoted in D Brewster, Memoirs of Newton

Numero pondere et mensura Deus omnia condidit
God created everything by number, weight and measure.

I will not define time, space, place and motion, as being well known to all.
Principia Mathematica

I have not been able to discover the cause of those properties of gravity from phenomena, and I frame no hypotheses; for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called a hypothesis, and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, whether of occult qualities or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

Are not gross bodies and light convertible into one another; and may not bodies receive much of their activity from the particles of light which enter into their composition? The changing of bodies into light, and light into bodies, is very conformable to the course of Nature, which seems delighted with transmutations.

In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.
Quoted in Des MacHale, Wisdom (London, 2002).

牛顿说过：我站在巨人的肩膀上。正如他所说，我们见到的都是巨人，而我们要做的就是努力的爬上巨人的肩膀。这就是我们之所以读书。我们生于这个国家，这个时代，这个文明，我们所要做的就是延续前人之精魄，在时间的长河里成为筑建历史长城之人。须臾的书香拂过我的木门，轻轻将我唤醒，我知道他又陪我度过了一个日夜

我不知道在别人看来，我是什么样的人；但在我自己看来，我不过就象是一个在海滨玩耍的小孩，为不时发现比寻常更为光滑的一块卵石或比寻常更为美丽的一片贝壳而沾沾自喜，而对于展现在我面前的浩瀚的真理的海洋，却全然没有发现。
