Mathematics is not just a language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning.
Richard P. Feynman
[B]eyond poverty, beyond the point that the material needs are reasonably satisfied, only from within is peace.
Richard P. Feynman
The inside of a computer is as dumb as hell but it goes like mad!
Richard P. Feynman
What we need is imagination, but imagination in a terrible strait-jacket.
Richard P. Feynman
The real problem in speech is not precise language. The problem is clear language.
Richard P. Feynman
If you don't like it, go somewhere else, to another universe where the rules are simpler.
Richard P. Feynman
I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why I wonder.
Richard P. Feynman
But see that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.
Richard P. Feynman
The scale of light can be described by numbers called the frequency and as the numbers get higher, the light goes from red to blue to ultraviolet. We can't see ultraviolet light, but it can affect photographic plates. It's still light only the number is different.
Richard P. Feynman
It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.
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
Outside of their particular area of expertise scientists are just as dumb as the next person.
Richard P. Feynman
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
All theoretical chemistry is really physics and all theoretical chemists know it.
Richard P. Feynman
What I cannot create, I do not understand.
Richard P. Feynman
The only way to deep happiness is to do something you love to the best of your ability
Richard P. Feynman
The most important thing I found out from my father is that if you asked any question and pursued it deeply enough, then at the end there was a glorious discovery of a general and beautiful kind.
Richard P. Feynman
Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.
Richard P. Feynman
We've learned from experience that the truth will out.
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
