More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
There are thousands of years in the past, and there is an unknown amount of time in the future. There are all kinds of opportunities, and there are all kinds of dangers.
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
Agnostic for me would be trying to weasel out and sound a little nicer than I am about this.
Richard P. Feynman
Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all.
Richard P. Feynman

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
I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.
Richard P. Feynman
Words can be meaningless. If they are used in such a way that no sharp conclusions can be drawn.
Richard P. Feynman
The present situation in physics is as if we know chess, but we don't know one or two rules.
Richard P. Feynman
We are lucky to live in an age in which we are still making discoveries.
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
Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.
Richard P. Feynman
It is impossible, by the way, when picking one example of anything, to avoid picking one which is atypical in some sense.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt.
Richard P. Feynman
I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why I wonder.
Richard P. Feynman
