Phillips Brooks Quotes

Acceleration is finite, I think according to some laws of physics.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The universe is composed of matter, and, as a system, is sustained by motion. Motion is not a property of matter, and without this motion the solar system could not exist.

It is indeed a law of politics as well as of physics, that a body in action must overcome a body at rest.

Every body persists in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces having impact upon it.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You receive from the world what you give to the world.

A thing of nature. For every Push, there is a Pull. A consequence.

I am a figure skater, which helps me appreciate Newton's theory of mechanics.

Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, except insofar as it doesn't.

Politics follows the lines of physics: every action creates an equal and opposite reaction.

It is just physics - who can argue with Newton and the first law of thermodynamics?

I like physics. I think it is the best science out of all three of them, because generally it's more useful. You learn about speed and velocity and time, and that's all clever stuff.

Physics is based on the assumption that certain fundamental features of nature are constant.

To the Master's honor all must turn, each in its track, without a sound, forever tracing Newton's ground.

Everything I do is somehow connected to velocity.

An object in motion tends to remain in motion along a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.

There is no science in this world like physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you. It's the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise. What time the eclipse is going to begin. What time the eclipse is going to end.

All great results in our universe are founded in motions and forces the most minute.

I love physics.

Newton came up with Newton's laws of motion and gravity. They worked. They were working.

Equal weights at equal distances are in equilibrium and equal weights at unequal distances are not in equilibrium but incline towards the weight which is at the greater distance.

Momentum,' She repeats. 'You can't just stand there if you want something to fly. You have to run.

Any schoolboy could see that man as a force must be measured by motion, from a fixed point.

Galileo had already made a significant beginning toward a knowledge of the law of motion. He discovered the law of inertia and the law of bodies falling freely in the gravitational field of the earth.

Everything is cause and effect. If you don't move, nothing will move with you, and nothing will move toward you.
