"Canonical momentum equals derivative of the Lagrangian with respect to velocity"
"Configuration space plus momentum space equals phase space"
"Energy equals Hamiltonian"
"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"
"Force pushes you down the hill"
"If a system is time-translation invariant, then the quantity is conserved"
"Nothing in the laws of physics changes if everything is simultaneously shifted in space"
