Physics

"Lenz's law teaches us that: There is no such thing as a free lunch."

"When solving a complex problem: Break down the problem into small pieces and don't get confused!"

"The similarities in the behavior of a driven spring and RC circuits illustrate that: Same equations have same solutions"

((describing the experiments one did as a kid (Before one learns all the applicable laws, etc.) in the bathtub. Came up when we were discussing fluids)

"An Ideal fluid is like dry water..."
