At the time of Feynman's death, there were two quotes on his blackboard (along with a to-learn list, and several formulas). The first one is "What I cannot create, I do not understand", followed by "Know how to solve every problem that has been solved". Since the years I've known those quotes, I have those as my personal motto for software development.
