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.

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
All we know so far is what doesn't work.
Richard P. Feynman
To test whether you have learned an idea or a definition, rephrase what you just learned without using the new word.
Richard P. Feynman
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that.
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
An ordinary fool isn't a faker an honest fool is all right. But a dishonest fool is terrible!
Richard P. Feynman
We decided that 'trivial' means 'proved'. So we joked with the mathematicians: We have a new theorem- that mathematicians can prove only trivial theorems, because every theorem that's proved is trivial.
Richard P. Feynman
I think Nature's imagination is so much greater than man's, she's never gonna let us relax!
Richard P. Feynman
Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty.
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
People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way--in such a way that often nobody believes me!
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
I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
Richard P. Feynman
Don't worry about anything. Go out and have a good time.
Richard P. Feynman
A great deal more is known than has been proved.
Richard P. Feynman
If all of mathematics disappeared, physics would be set back by exactly one week.
Richard P. Feynman
The only way to have real success in science, the field I'm familiar with, is to describe the evidence very carefully without regard to the way you feel it should be. If you have a theory , you must try to explain what's good and what's bad about it equally. In science, you learn a kind of standard integrity and honesty .
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
When I found out that Santa Claus wasn't real, I wasn't upset rather, I was relieved that there was a much simpler phenomenon to explain how so many children all over the world got presents on the same night! The story had been getting pretty complicated -- it was getting out of hand.
Richard P. Feynman
From a long view of the history of mankind the most significant event of the nineteenth century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electrodynamics.
Richard P. Feynman
There are 10^11 stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers.
Richard P. Feynman
