"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

If one object X applies with a force to another object Y, the object Y will also exert an equal and opposite force to the object X. The forces always occur in pairs with same magnitude but opposite direction.

Example: Shooting with a rifle is a typical example for explaining the Newton's Third Law. When the shooter fires his rifle, he experiences sudden recoil of the rifle. This "kick" felt by the shooter is a reaction force which acts upon the rifle. This force is equal in magnitude to the force that pushes forward the bullets.
