A problem defined, is a problem half solved.

Albert Einstein

A problem clearly stated is a problem half solved.

Dorothea Brande

If we want to solve a problem that we have never solved before, we must leave the door to the unknown ajar.

Richard P. Feynman

A problem is often half-solved when it is clearly stated.

Dorothea Brande

Violence against women is clearly not solved, not at all solved, and the reasons for it, which are controlling women's bodies in order to control reproduction, are definitely not solved.

Gloria Steinem

Becoming carbon neutral is only the beginning. The climate problem will not be solved by one company reducing its emissions to zero, and it won't be solved by one government acting alone. The climate problem will not be solved without mass participation by the general public in countries around the globe.

Rupert Murdoch

A problem adequately stated is a problem solved theoretically and immediately, and therefore subsequently to be solved, realistically.

R. Buckminster Fuller

If the problem can be solved why worry? If the problem cannot be solved worrying will do you no good.

Shantideva

When you have solved the problem of controlling the attention of the child, you have solved the entire problem of its education.

Maria Montessori

Problems, however, are rarely solved on the spur of the moment. They must be organized and dissected, then key issues isolated and defined. A period of gestation then sets in, during which these issues are mulled over. You put them in your mind and consciously or unconsciously work at them at odd hours of the day or night - even at work. It is somewhat analogous to trying to place a name on the face of someone you've met before. Often the solution to a problem comes to you in much the same way you eventually recall the name.

William Redington Hewlett

We had global warming between 1940 and 1998. Since then, we haven't had a rise in temperature. That doesn't mean we don't have a problem. If that problem is going to be solved, it ought to be solved by an international treaty.

Chuck Grassley

Genius is the act of solving a problem in a way no one has solved it before.

Seth Godin

Mathematics may be defined as the economy of counting. There is no problem in the whole of mathematics which cannot be solved by direct counting.

Ernst Mach

When you start a company, it's more an art than a science because it's totally unknown. Instead of solving high-profile problems, try to solve something that's deeply personal to you. Ideally, if you're an ordinary person and you've just solved your problem, you might have solved the problem for millions of people.
