“God created everything by number, weight and measure.”
Numero pondere et mensura Deus omnia condidit.
Isaac Newton (1643–1727) British physicist and mathematician and founder of modern classical physics
As quoted in Symmetry in Plants (1998) by Roger V. Jean and Denis Barabé, p. xxxvii, a translation of a Latin phrase he wrote in a student's notebook, elsewhere given as Numero pondere et mensura Deus omnia condidit. This is similar to Latin statements by Thomas Aquinas, and even more ancient statements of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras.
