Mottos

• “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence” / “Nicht der Bosheit zuschreiben, was schon durch Inkompetenz erklärt wird” – Robert Hanlon’s Razor 1980 (or Heinlein?)
• Weniger ist mehr / Less is more – adopted by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe 1947 (1886–1969), earliest source probably Robert Browning in his poem ‘Andrea del Sarto’ (1855, it’s quite lengthy…)
• Die Summe aller Laster bleibt gleich / The sum of all vices stays constant – personal observation
• Months in the laboratory can frequently save hours in the library – Frank H Westheimer
