By honest I don't mean that you only tell what's true. But you make clear the entire situation. You make clear all the information that is required for somebody else who is intelligent to make up their mind.
Richard P. Feynman

More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
A philosopher once said, 'It is necessary for the very existence of science that the same conditions always produce the same results.' Well, they don't!
Richard P. Feynman
Computer science is not as old as physics it lags by a couple of hundred years. However, this does not mean that there is significantly less on the computer scientist's plate than on the physicist's: younger it may be, but it has had a far more intense upbringing!
Richard P. Feynman
It's amazing how many people even today use a computer to do something you can do with a pencil and paper in less time.
Richard P. Feynman
What I cannot create, I do not understand.
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
If you thought that science was certain - well, that is just an error on your part.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
Richard P. Feynman
(Joan,1941) She wrote me a letter asking,How can I read it?,Its so hard. I told her to start at the beginning and read as far as you can get until you're lost. Then start again at the beginning and keep working through until you can understand the whole book. And thats what she did
Richard P. Feynman
There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.
Richard P. Feynman
There is one simplification at least. Electrons behave ... in exactly the same way as photons they are both screwy, but in exactly in the same way.
Richard P. Feynman
As you know, a theory in physics is not useful unless it is able to predict underlined effects which we would otherwise expect.
Richard P. Feynman
To develop working ideas efficiently, I try to fail as fast as I can.
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
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
A very great deal more truth can become known than can be proven.
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
Today's brains are yesterday's mashed potatoes.
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
Nature does not care what we call it, she just keeps on doing it.
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
