More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
There is enough energy in a single cubic meter of space to boil all the oceans in the world.
Richard P. Feynman
If you have any talent, or any occupation that delights you, do it, and do it to the hilt. Don't ask why, or what difficulties you may get into.
Richard P. Feynman
All we know so far is what doesn't work.
Richard P. Feynman
Maybe that is why young people make success. They don't know enough.
Richard P. Feynman
Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds.
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
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that's the end of you.
Richard P. Feynman
Since then I never pay attention to anything by experts. I calculate everything myself.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't have to be good because they think I'm going to be good.
Richard P. Feynman
To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature ... If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in.
Richard P. Feynman
Our poets do not write about it our artists do not try to portray this remarkable thing. I don't know why. Is nobody inspired by our present picture of the universe? The value of science remains unsung by singers... This is not yet a scientific age.
Richard P. Feynman
Energy is a very subtle concept. It is very, very difficult to get right.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature...cannot be fooled!
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
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
I don't believe I can really do without teaching.
Richard P. Feynman
The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination, in a tight straightjacket.
Richard P. Feynman
I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
I don't feel frightened by not knowing things.
Richard P. Feynman
Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars - mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?
Richard P. Feynman
