Be a free thinker. We must be careful not to believe things simply because we want them to be true. Don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.

I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong.

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. When someone says 'science teaches such and such', he is using the word incorrectly. Science doesn't teach anything, experience teaches it.

• Have a sense of humor and talk honestly.
• Teach others what you know.

Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty -- some most unsure, some nearly sure, none absolutely certain.

The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of very great importance, I think.When a scientist doesn't know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when…

It's Okay to say 'I don't know!'

There's no shame in that! The only shame is to pretend that we know everything.

Education is not about knowing everything, it’s about understanding that there is always more to learn and discover.

In its efforts to learn as much as possible about nature, modern physics has found that certain things can never be “known” with certainty. Much of our knowledge must always remain uncertain. The most we can know is in terms of probabilities.

Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it's a wonderful problem, because it doesn't look so easy.

Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best.

Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do.
