Noise is an inevitable part of any electronic system.

The art of designing circuits is as much about intuition as it is about mathematics.

In electronics, as in life, there are no perfect solutions.

The circuit designer must always be aware of the limitations of the components used.

A well-designed circuit should be easy to understand.

Understanding the behavior of real components is critical to circuit design.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Designing for manufacturability is as important as designing for performance.

A good engineer is a good detective.

Simulation can never replace real-world testing.
