Science is a process for learning about nature in which competing ideas about how the world works are measured against observations. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
All the evidence, experimental and even a little theoretical, seems to indicate that it is the energy content which is involved in gravitation, and therefore, since matter and antimatter both represent positive energies, gravitation makes no distinction. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The lay reader only wanted to have the illusion of understanding and to catch a few buzzwords to throw around at cocktail parties. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
When I was a young man, Dirac was my hero. He made a breakthrough, a new method of doing physics. He had the courage to simply guess at the form of an equation, the equation we now call the Dirac equation, and to try to interpret it afterwards. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
So far as we know, all the fundamental laws of physics, like Newton's equations, are reversible. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
People who wish to analyze nature without using mathematics must settle for a reduced understanding. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I practiced drawing all the time and became very interested in it. If I was at a meeting that wasn't getting anywhere - like the one where Carl Rogers came to Caltech to discuss with us whether Caltech should develop a psychology department - I would draw the other people. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I believe there's nothing in hallucinations that has anything to do with anything external to the internal psychological state of the person who's got the hallucination. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
It is impossible, by the way, when picking one example of anything, to avoid picking one which is atypical in some sense. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
If I get stuck, I look at a book that tells me how someone else did it. I turn the pages, and then I say, 'Oh, I forgot that bit,' then close the book and carry on. Finally, after you've figured out how to do it, you read how they did it and find out how dumb your solution is and how much more clever and efficient theirs is! ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
It is odd, but on the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
When the problem [quantum chromodynamics] is finally solved, it will all be by imagination. Then there will be some big thing about the great way it was done. But it's simple -it will all be by imagination, and persistence. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We need to teach how doubt is not to be feared but welcomed. It's OK to say, "I don't know." ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Investigating the forces that hold the nuclear particles together was a long task. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Trying to understand the way nature works involves a most terrible test of human reasoning ability. It involves subtle trickery, beautiful tightropes of logic on which one has to walk in order not to make a mistake in predicting what will happen. The quantum mechanical and the relativity ideas are examples of this. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
So our problem is to explain where symmetry comes from. Why is nature so nearly symmetrical? No one has any idea why. The only thing we might suggest is something like this: There is a gate in
Japan, a gate in Neiko, which is sometimes called by the Japanese
the most beautiful gate in all Japan; it was built in a time when
there was great influence from Chinese art. This gate is very elaborate,
with lots of gables and beautiful carving and lots of columns
and dragon heads and princes carved into the pillars, and so on.
But when one looks closely he sees that in the elaborate and complex
design along one of the pillars, one of the small design elements
is carved upside down; otherwise the thing is completely
symmetrical. If one asks why this is, the story is that it was carved
upside down so that the gods will not be jealous of the perfection
of man. So they purposely put an error in there, so that the gods
would not be jealous and get angry with human beings.
We might like to turn the idea around and think that the true
explanation of the near symmetry of nature is this: that God made
the laws only nearly symmetrical so that we should not be jealous
of His perfection! ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
This attitude of mind - this attitude of uncertainty - is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind which the student must first acquire. It becomes a habit of thought. Once acquired, we cannot retreat from it anymore. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I took a little walk outside for a while. I was surprised that I wasn't feeling what I thought people were supposed to feel under the circumstances. May be I was fooling myself. I wasn't delighted, but I didn't feel terribly upset, perhaps because we had known for a long time that it was going to happen.

It's hard to explain. If a Martian(who, we'll imagine never dies except by accident) came to Earth and saw this peculiar race of creatures-these humans who live about seventy or eighty years, knowing that death is going to come--it would look to hi like a terrible problem of psychology to live under those circumstances, knowing that life is only temporary Well, we humans somehow figure out how to live despite this problem: we laugh, we joke, we live.

The only difference for me and Arlene was, instead of fifty years, it was five years. It was only a quantitative difference--the psychological problem was just the same. The only way it would have become any different is if we had said to ourselves, "But those other people have it better, because they might live fifty years." But that's crazy. Why make yourself miserable saying things like, "Why do we have such bad luck? What has God done to us? What have we done to deserve this?"--all of which, if you understand reality and take it completely into your heart, are irrelevant and unsolvable. They are just things that nobody can know. Your situation is just an accident of life..

We had a hell of goo ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The extreme weakness of quantum gravitational effects now poses some philosophical problems; maybe nature is trying to tell us something new here: maybe we should not try to quantize gravity. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Once we were driving in the midwest and we pulled into a McDonald's. Someone came up to me and asked me why I have Feynman diagrams all over my van. I replied, "Because I am Feynman!" The young man went, "Ahhhhh!" ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Einstein's gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena with the geometry of space; this was an exciting idea. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Few people realize the number of things that are possible. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Why are all the theories of physics so similar in their structure?

There are a number of possibilities. The first is the limited imagination of physicists: when we see a new phenomenon we try to fit it into the framework we already have-until we have made enough experiments, we don't know that it doesn't work.

Another possibility is that it is the same damn thing over and over again-that Nature has only one way of doing things, and She repeats her story from time to time.

A third possibility is that things look similar because they are aspects of the same thing- some larger picture underneath, from which things can be broken into parts that look different, like fingers on the same hand. Many physicists are working very hard trying to put together a grand picture that unifies everything into one super-duper model. It's a delightful game, but at the present time none of the speculators agree with any of the other speculators as to what the grand picture is. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
You do not know anything until you have practiced. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It's a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you 'play' with them! ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
As usual, nature's imagination far surpasses our own, as we have seen from the other theories which are subtle and deep. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We get the exciting result that the total energy of the universe is zero. Why this should be so is one of the great mysteries - and therefore one of the important questions of physics. After all, what would be the use of studying physics if the mysteries were not the most important things to investigate? ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
As revealed by physics, the truth is so remarkable, so amazing! ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
A scientist is never certain ... We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and there is no learning. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Agnostic for me would be trying to weasel out and sound a little nicer than I am about this. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
It is a great adventure to contemplate the universe, beyond man, to contemplate what it would be like without man, as it was in a great part of its long history and as it is in a great majority of places. When this objective view is finally attained, and the mystery and majesty of matter are fully appreciated, to then turn the objective eye back on man viewed as matter, to view life as part of this universal mystery of greatest depth, is to sense an experience which is very rare, and very exciting. It usually ends in laughter and a delight in the futility of trying to understand what this atom in the universe is, this thing - atoms with curiosity - that looks at itself and wonders why it wonders. Well, these scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.

Some will tell me that I have just described a religious experience. Very well, you may call it what you will. Then, in that language I would say that the young man's religious experience is of such a kind that he finds the religion of his church inadequate to describe, to encompass that kind of experience. The God of the church isn't big enough. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The exception tests the rule. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I'm trying to find out NOT how Nature could be, but how Nature IS. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We scientists are clever - too clever - are you not satisfied? Is four square miles in one bomb not enough? Men are still thinking. Just tell us how big you want it! ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
It always seems odd to me that the fundamental laws of physics, when discovered, can appear in so many different forms that are not apparently identical at first, but, with a little mathematical fiddling, you can show the relationship. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I have to disregard everybody else, and then I can do my own work. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
If I say [electrons] behave like particles I give the wrong impression; also if I say they behave like waves. They behave in their own inimitable way, which technically could be called a quantum mechanical way. They behave in a way that is like nothing that you have seen before. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The universe is very large, and its boundaries are not known very well, but it is still possible to define some kind of a radius to be associated with it. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Once you have a computer that can do a few things - strictly speaking, one that has a certain 'sufficient set' of basic procedures - it can do basically anything any other computer can do. This, loosely, is the basis of the great principle of 'Universality'. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
So I have just one wish for you – the good luck to be somewhere where you are free to maintain the kind of integrity I have described, and where you do not feel forced by a need to maintain your position in the organization, or financial support, or so on, to lose your integrity. May you have that freedom. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Unless a thing can be defined by measurement, it has no place in a theory. And since an accurate value of the momentum of a localized particle cannot be defined by measurement it therefore has no place in the theory. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
While I am describing to you how Nature works, you won't understand why Nature works that way. But you see, nobody understands that. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of very great importance, I think. When a scientist doesn't know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has a hunch as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty damn sure of what the result is going to be, he is still in some doubt. We have found it of paramount importance that in order to progress, we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt. Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty - some most unsure, some nearly sure, but none absolutely certain. Now, we scientists are used to this, and we take it for granted that it is perfectly consistent to be unsure, that it is possible to live and not know. But I don't know whether everyone realizes this is true. Our freedom to doubt was born out of a struggle against authority in the early days of science. It was a very deep and strong struggle: permit us to question - to doubt - to not be sure. I think that it is important that we do not forget this struggle and thus perhaps lose what we have gained. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
This is not very important what I'm doing. I'm just proving something. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The internal machinery of life, the chemistry of the parts, is something beautiful. And it turns out that all life is interconnected with all other life. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
It is not unscientific to make a guess, although many people who are not in science think it is. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Therefore psychologically we must keep all the theories in our heads, and every theoretical physicist who is any good knows six or seven different theoretical representations for exactly the same physics. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Observation, reason, and experiment make up what we call the scientific method. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
It is our responsibility to leave the people of the future a free hand. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Nature does not care what we call it, she just keeps on doing it. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We have a habit in writing articles published in scientific journals to make the work as finished as possible, to cover up all the tracks, to not worry about the blind alleys or describe how you had the wrong idea first, and so on. So there isn't any place to publish, in a dignified manner, what you actually did in order to get to do the work, although, there has been in these days, some interest in this kind, thing. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
In any organization there ought to be the possibility of discussion ... fence sitting is an art, and it's difficult, and it's important to do, rather than to go headlong in one direction or the other. It's just better to have action, isn't it than to sit on the fence? Not if you're not sure which way to go, it isn't. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Doubt is clearly a value in science. It is important to doubt and that the doubt is not a fearful thing, but a thing of great value. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The problem of creating something new, but which is consistent with everything which has been seen before, is one of extreme difficulty. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
There is always another way to say the same thing that doesn't look at all like the way you said it before. I don't know what the reason for this is. I think it is somehow a representation of the simplicity of nature. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I am not interested in what today's mathematicians find interesting. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We are never right, we can only be sure we are wrong. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I suddenly remembered that Murray Gell-Mann and I were supposed to give talks at that conference on the present situation of high-energy physics. My talk was set for the plenary session, so I asked the guide, "Sir, where would the talks for the plenary session of the conference be?"

"Back in that room that we just came through."

"Oh!" I said in delight. "Then I'm gonna give a speech in that room!"

The guide looked down at my dirty pants and my sloppy shirt. I realized how dumb that remark must have sounded to him, but it was genuine surprise and delight on my part.

We went along a little bit farther, and the guide said, "This is a lounge for the various delegates, where they often hold informal discussions." They were some small, square windows in the doors to the lounge that you could look through, so people looked in. There were a few men sitting there talking.

I looked through the windows and saw Igor Tamm, a physicist from Russia that I know. "Oh!" I said. "I know that guy!" and I started through the door.

The guide screamed, "No, no! Don't go in there!" By this time he was sure he had a maniac on his hands, but he couldn't chase me because he wasn't allowed to go through the door himself! ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
If an apple was magnified to the size of the Earth, then the atoms in the apple would be approximately the size of the original apple. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Today, all physicists know from studying Einstein and Bohr that sometimes an idea which looks completely paradoxical at first, if analyzed to completion in all detail and in experimental situations, may, in fact, not be paradoxical. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
There were several possible solutions of the difficulty of classical electrodynamics, any one of which might serve as a good starting point to the solution of the difficulties of quantum electrodynamics. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
So right away I found out something about biology: it was very easy to find a question that was very interesting, and that nobody knew the answer to. In physics you had to go a little deeper before you could find an interesting question that people didn't know. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The first person you should be careful not to fool is yourself. Because you are the easiest person to fool". ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I don't understand what it's all about or what's worth what, but if the people in the Swedish Academy decide that x, y or z wins the Nobel Prize, then so be it. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I don't believe in honors - it bothers me. Honors bother: honors is epaulettes; honors is uniforms. My papa brought me up this way. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
What we need is imagination, but imagination in a terrible strait-jacket. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Every instrument that has been designed to be sensitive enough to detect weak light has always ended up discovering that the same thing: light is made of particles. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
No! Not for a second! I immediately began to think how this could have happened. And I realized that the clock was old and was always breaking. That the clock probably stopped some time before and the nurse coming in to the room to record the time of death would have looked at the clock and jotted down the time from that. I never made any supernatural connection, not even for a second. I just wanted to figure out how it happened. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We could, of course, use any notation we want; do not laugh at notations; invent them, they are powerful. In fact,mathematics is, to a large extent, invention of better notations. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
[John] von Neumann gave me an interesting idea: that you don't have to be responsible for the world that you're in. So I have developed a very powerful sense of social irresponsibility as a result of von Neumann's advice. It's made me a very happy man ever since. But it was von Neumann who put the seed in that grew into my active irresponsibility! ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Often one postulates that a priori, all states are equally probable. This is not true in the world as we see it. This world is not correctly described by the physics which assumes this postulate. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Thus we can get the correct answer for the probability of partial reflection by imagining (falsely) that all reflection comes from only the front and back surfaces. In this intuitively easy analysis, the 'front surface' and 'back surface' arrows are mathematical constructions that give us the right answer, whereas ... a more accurate representation of what is really going on: partial reflection is the scattering of light by electrons inside the glass. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I cannot do a good job, any job, of explaining magnetic force in terms of something more familiar to you, because I do not understand magnetic force in terms of something more familiar to you. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
First you guess. Don't laugh, this is the most important step. Then you compute the consequences. Compare the consequences to experience. If it disagrees with experience, the guess is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn't matter how beautiful your guess is or how smart you are or what your name is. If it disagrees with experience, it's wrong. That's all there is to it. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
This is the key of modern science and is the beginning of the true understanding of nature . This idea . That to look at the things, to record the details, and to hope that in the information thus obtained, may lie a clue to one or another of a possible theoretical interpretation. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Is science of any value? I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how it is used, but the power is a value. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The theoretical broadening which comes from having many humanities subjects on the campus is offset by the general dopiness of the people who study these things ... ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I have the advantage of having found out how hard it is to get to really know something. How careful you have to be about checking your experiments. How easy it is to make mistakes and fool yourself. I know what it means to know something. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We've learned from experience that the truth will come out. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The only way to deep happiness is to do something you love to the best of your ability ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
You're unlikely to discover something new without a lot of practice on old stuff, but further, you should get a heck of a lot of fun out of working out funny relations and interesting things. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
We are very lucky to be living in an age in which we are still making discoveries. It is like the discovery of America-you only discover it once. The age in which we live is the age in which we are discovering the fundamental laws of nature, and that day will never come again. It is very exciting, it is marvelous, but this excitement will have to go. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
I've always been very one-sided about science, and when I was younger, I concentrated almost all my effort on it. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The philosophical question before us is, when we make an observation of our track in the past, does the result of our observation become real in the same sense that the final state would be defined if an outside observer were to make the observation? ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
If there is something very slightly wrong in our definition of the theories, then the full mathematical rigor may convert these errors into ridiculous conclusions. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The unanswerable mysteries ... the attitude that all is uncertain ... to summarize it - the humility of the intellect. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
Just as a poet often has license from the rules of grammar and pronunciation, we should like to ask for 'physicists' license from the rules of mathematics in order to express what we wish to say in as simple a manner as possible. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
To guess what to keep and what to throw away takes considerable skill. Actually it is probably merely a matter of luck, but it looks as if it takes considerable skill. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
In any decision for action, when you have to make up your mind what to do, there is always a 'should' involved, and this cannot be worked out from, 'If I do this, what will happen?' alone. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. ~ Richard P. Feynman
Richard P Feynman quotes by Richard P. Feynman
