"To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction"

- Isaac Newton

About this Quote

This quote by Isaac Newton is a fundamental law of physics known as the Third Law of Motion. It mentions that for each action, there is an equivalent and opposite reaction. This law applies to all objects in motion, and it discusses why things relocate the manner in which they do. For instance, when a person presses a wall, the wall pushes back with an equivalent force. This law is likewise appropriate to more complex scenarios, such as when a rocket is released into space. The rocket is moved forward by the force of the exhaust gases, and the exhaust gases are propelled backwards by the force of the rocket.

The quote by Isaac Newton is likewise appropriate to daily life. Whenever we take an action, there is constantly a response. This could be in the kind of a physical reaction, such as when we press a wall, or it might be in the kind of a mental reaction, such as when we state something that upsets someone. In either case, the reaction is always equal to the action.

The quote by Isaac Newton is a pointer that we need to always bear in mind the consequences of our actions. We need to think carefully prior to we act, and consider the prospective reactions that our actions might cause. By doing so, we can ensure that our actions are beneficial which we are not triggering any unnecessary damage.
