More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The only way to deep happiness is to do something you love to the best of your ability
Richard P. Feynman
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers of the preceding generation.
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
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
We can deduce, often, from one part of physics like the law of gravitation, a principle which turns out to be much more valid than the derivation.
Richard P. Feynman
A very great deal more truth can become known than can be proven.
Richard P. Feynman
I'm going to play with physics, whenever I want to, without worrying about any importance whatsoever.
Richard P. Feynman
Physicists like to think that all you have to do is say, these are the conditions, now what happens next?
Richard P. Feynman
I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
Richard P. Feynman
There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.
Richard P. Feynman
Once we were driving in the midwest and we pulled into a McDonald's. Someone came up to me and asked me why I have Feynman diagrams all over my van. I replied, Because I am Feynman! The young man went, Ahhhhh!
Richard P. Feynman
So far as we know, all the fundamental laws of physics, like Newton's equations, are reversible.
Richard P. Feynman
We've learned from experience that the truth will out.
Richard P. Feynman
I have a limited intelligence and I've used it in a particular direction.
Richard P. Feynman
What Do You Care What Other People Think?
Richard P. Feynman
I do believe that there is a conflict between science and religion ... the spirit or attitude toward the facts is different in religion from what it is in science. The uncertainty that is necessary in order to appreciate nature is not easily correlated with the feeling of certainty in faith.
Richard P. Feynman
Strange! I don't understand how it is that we can write mathematical expressions and calculate what the thing is going to do without being able to picture it.
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
One does not, by knowing all the physical laws as we know them today, immediately obtain an understanding of anything much. I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
Richard P. Feynman
Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.
Richard P. Feynman
