In physics the truth is rarely perfectly clear, and that is certainly universally the case in human affairs. Hence, what is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth.

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
No one really understands quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
Mathematics is a language plus reasoning. It's like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning.
Richard P. Feynman
An ordinary fool isn't a faker an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!
Richard P. Feynman
There’s so much distance between the fundamental rules and the final phenomenon, that it’s almost unbelievable that the final variety of phenomenon can come from such a steady operation of such simple rules.
Richard P. Feynman
You can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity. When you get it right, it is obvious that it is right -- at least if you have any experience -- because usually what happens is that more comes out than goes in.
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
You see, I get such fun out of thinking that I don't want to destroy this most pleasant machine that makes life such a big kick.
Richard P. Feynman
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers of the preceding generation.
Richard P. Feynman
Work hard to find something that fascinates you.
Richard P. Feynman
The work I have done has, already, been adequately rewarded and recognized. Imagination reaches out repeatedly trying to achieve some higher level of understanding, until suddenly I find myself momentarily alone before one new corner of nature's pattern of beauty and true majesty revealed. That was my reward.
Richard P. Feynman
I love to think. I once considered taking drugs as an attempt to better understand an altered state of mind however, I decided not to. I didn't want to chance ruining the machine.
Richard P. Feynman
So far as we know, all the fundamental laws of physics, like Newton's equations, are reversible.
Richard P. Feynman
This is not very important what I'm doing. I'm just proving something.
Richard P. Feynman
We are not to tell nature what she’s gotta be... She's always got better imagination than we have.
Richard P. Feynman
There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation.
Richard P. Feynman
Don't worry about anything. Go out and have a good time.
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
I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.
Richard P. Feynman
We are lucky to live in an age in which we are still making discoveries.
Richard P. Feynman
You know how it always is, every new idea, it takes a generation or two until it becomes obvious that there's no real problem. It has not yet become obvious to me that there's no real problem. I cannot define the real problem, therefore I suspect there's no real problem, but I'm not sure there's no real problem.
Richard P. Feynman
