More quotes by 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
Tell your son to stop trying to fill your head with science - for to fill your heart with love is enough!
Richard P. Feynman
The electron is a theory. But the theory is so good we can almost consider them real.
Richard P. Feynman
As revealed by physics, the truth is so remarkable, so amazing!
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
This attitude of mind - this attitude of uncertainty - is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind which the student must first acquire. It becomes a habit of thought. Once acquired, we cannot retreat from it anymore.
Richard P. Feynman
Start out understanding religion by saying everything is possibly wrong... As soon as you do that, you start sliding down an edge which is hard to recover from.
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
We are trying to prove ourselves wrong as quickly as possible, because only in that way can we find progress.
Richard P. Feynman
Scientific views end in awe and mystery, lost at the edge in uncertainty, but they appear to be so deep and so impressive that the theory that it is all arranged as a stage for God to watch man's struggle for good and evil seems inadequate.
Richard P. Feynman
To develop working ideas efficiently, I try to fail as fast as I can.
Richard P. Feynman
It is the fact that the electrons cannot all get on top of each other that makes tables and everything else solid.
Richard P. Feynman
I have a limited intelligence and I've used it in a particular direction.
Richard P. Feynman
People who wish to analyze nature without using mathematics must settle for a reduced understanding.
Richard P. Feynman
The worthwhile problems are the ones you can really solve or help solve, the ones you can really contribute something to... No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature's imagination far surpasses our own.
Richard P. Feynman
There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation.
Richard P. Feynman
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
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
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
