I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

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.

The same equations have the same solutions

Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong.
Richard P. Feynman

There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.

The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday.

To develop working ideas efficiently, I try to fail as fast as I can.

As revealed by physics, the truth is so remarkable, so amazing!

What we need is imagination, but imagination in a terrible strait-jacket.
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.

In physics the truth is rarely perfectly clear, and that is certainly universally the case in human affairs. Hence, what is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth.
Richard P. Feynman
Image
A very great deal more truth can become known than can be proven.
Richard P. Feynman

There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.

All things are made of atoms - little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.

... it is impossible to explain honestly the beauties of the laws of nature in a way that people can feel, without their having some deep understanding of mathematics. I am sorry, but this seems to be the case.
Richard P. Feynman

Since then I never pay attention to anything by experts. I calculate everything myself.

What Do You Care What Other People Think?

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.

No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.

You can recognize truth by its beauty and simplicity. When you get it right, it is obvious that it is right -- at least if you have any experience -- because usually what happens is that more comes out than goes in.
