More neat quotes
Facts are the air of scientists. Without them you can never fly.
Men will gather knowledge no matter what the consequences. Science will go on whether we are pessimistic or optimistic, as I am. More interesting discoveries than we can imagine will be made, and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.
Satisfaction of one's curiosity is one of the greatest sources of happiness in life.
The scientist, if he is to be more than a plodding gatherer of bits of information, needs to exercise an active imagination.
If you want to have good ideas you must have many ideas. Most of them will be wrong, and what you have to learn is which ones to throw away.
Do unto others 20% better than you would expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error.
