A few quotes from Newton:
"I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
“Truth is the offspring of silence and meditation.”
“Whence arises all that order and beauty we see in the world.”
Those do not sound like the words of someone motivated solely by fame or money.
