* Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavours.
* Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
* If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
* If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
* Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
* It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
* It should be possible to explain the laws of physics to a barmaid.

* Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.
* The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
* To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
* Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
* The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
* Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal.
* The grand aim of all science is to cover the greatest number of empirical facts by logical deduction from the smallest number of hypotheses or axioms.
