The Scientific Theorist Is Not To Be Envied. For Nature, Or More Precisely Experiment, Is An Exorable And Not Very Friendly Judge Of His Work. It Never Says "yes" To A Theory. In The Most Favorable Cases It Says "maybe," And In The Great Majority Of Cases Simply "no." If An Experiment Agrees With A Theory It Means For The Latter "maybe," And If It Does Not Agree It Means "no." Probably Every Theory Will Some Day Experience Its "no" - Most Theories, Soon After Conception.

I Hate All The Loathsome Nonsense That Goes With Patriotism.

But The Creative Principle Resides In Mathematics. In A Certain Sense, Therefore, I Hold True That Pure Thought Can Grasp Reality, As The Ancients Dreamed.

The Theory Must Not Contradict Empirical Facts.

I Am Strongly Drawn To A Frugal Life And Am Often Oppressively Aware That I Am Engrossing An Undue Amount Of The Labor Of My Fellow Men.
