De la nécessité morale de bien communiquer
« Une mauvaise écriture est une des formes du mépris qu’on a pour autrui; car elle prouve qu’on attache plus de prix à son propre temps qu’à celui des autres. »

Make sure you have data first
"I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly, one begins to twist facts to suit theories instead of theories to suit facts."
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes), as quoted by John W. Moffat in "Reinventing gravity" (p. 156).
This statement means the same thing as that one from Feynman.
