Newton's Principia: The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy

This seminal text presents the three fundamental laws of motion and the principle of universal gravitation, using rigorous mathematical reasoning to explain the behavior of celestial bodies and physical phenomena on Earth. The work introduced a systematic framework for understanding the relationships between force, mass, and motion that became the cornerstone of classical mechanics. Through geometric and mathematical analysis, Newton established principles that dominated scientific understanding of the physical world and laid the groundwork for centuries of advancement in physics and astronomy. more

“We have no other notion of cause and effect, but that of certain objects, which have always conjoin'd together, and which in all past instances have been found inseparable. We cannot penetrate into the reason of the conjunction. We only observe the thing itself, and always find that from the constant conjunction the objects acquire an union in the imagination.”

“'Men die of the diseases which they have studied most,' remarked the surgeon, snipping off the end of a cigar with all his professional neatness and finish. 'It's as if the morbid condition was an evil creature which, when it found itself closely hunted, flew at the throat of its pursuer. If you worry the microbes too much they may worry you. I've seen cases of it, and not necessarily in microbic diseases either. There was, of course, the well-known instance of Liston and the aneurism; and a dozen others that I could mention.'”

“Atten. Pray of what disease did Mr. Badman die, for now I perceive we are come up to his death? Wise. I cannot so properly say that he died of one disease, for there were many that had consented, and laid their heads together to bring him to his end. He was dropsical, he was consumptive, he was surfeited, was gouty, and, as some say, he had a tang of the pox in his bowels. Yet the captain of all these men of death that came against him to take him away, was the consumption, for it was that that brought him down to the grave.”
