If a problem is clearly stated, it has no further interest to the physicist.
A problem clearly stated is a problem half solved.
A problem is often half-solved when it is clearly stated.
There are street artists. Street musicians. Street actors. But there are no street physicists. A little known secret is that a physicist is one of the most employable people in the marketplace - a physicist is a trained problem solver.
The physicist's problem is the problem of ultimate origins and ultimate natural laws. The biologist's problem is the problem of complexity.
A problem adequately stated is a problem well on its way to being solved.
Neumann, to a physicist seeking help with a difficult problem: Simple. This can be solved by using the method of characteristics. Physicist: I'm afraid I don't understand the method of characteristics. Neumann: In mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
A problem well stated is a problem half-solved.
All my music is very simple in that melody is usually clearly stated.
I desire ... to leave this one great fact clearly stated. THERE IS NO WEALTH BUT LIFE.
Stated clearly enough, an idea may cancel itself out.
When there is a problem, always identify and evaluate your underlying assumptions that may be contributing to the problem or preventing you from seeing the problem clearly.
I am under no illusions. My position, no matter how clearly stated, is likely to be misunderstood.
A problem adequately stated is a problem solved theoretically and immediately, and therefore subsequently to be solved, realistically.
It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.
It's very clearly stated in the film: You make your own choices, and what you're always fighting is ego.
Fast drivers can see no further than slow drivers, but they must look further down the road to time their reactions safely. Similarly, people with great projects afoot habitually look further and more clearly into the future than people who are mired in day-to-day concerns.
