In physics, your solution should convince a reasonable person. In math, you have to convince a person who's trying to make trouble. Ultimately, in physics, you're hoping to convince Nature. And I've found Nature to be pretty reasonable. -Frank Wilczek

If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a big mistake.

In physics, you don't have to go around making trouble for yourself - nature does it for you.
