The quantum hypothesis will eventually find its exact expression in certain equations which will be a more exact formulation of the law of causality.

MAX PLANCKIt is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.
MAX PLANCKAll matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force.
MAX PLANCKIt is never possible to predict a physical occurrence with unlimited precision.
MAX PLANCKWe cannot rest and sit down lest we rust and decay. Health is maintained only through work. And as it is with all life so it is with science. We are always struggling from the relative to the absolute.
MAX PLANCKWhat seems today inconceivable will appear one day, from a higher stand point, quite simple and harmonious.
MAX PLANCKIt is impossible to make a clear cut between science, religion, and art. The whole is never equal simply to the sum of its various parts.
MAX PLANCKThere is no matter as such—mind is the matrix of all matter.
MAX PLANCKNo burden is so heavy for a man to bear as a succession of happy days.
MAX PLANCKExperimenters are the shock troops of science.
MAX PLANCKA new truth always has to conend with many difficulties. If it were not so, it would have been discovered much sooner.
MAX PLANCKScientific work will never stop, and it would be terrible if it did. If there were no more problems, you would put your hands in your pockets and your head on a pillow and would work no more. In science rest is stagnation, rest is death.
MAX PLANCKIn all my research I have never come across matter. To me the term matter implies a bundle of energy which is given form by an intelligent spirit.
MAX PLANCKWe have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.
MAX PLANCKThe goal is nothing other than the coherence and completeness of the system not only in respect of all details, but also in respect of all physicists of all places, all times, all peoples, and all cultures.
MAX PLANCKThose scientists who dislike entertaining contradictory thoughts are unlikely to enrich their science with new ideas.
