More quotes by Richard P. Feynman
The idea that no one really knew how to run a government led to the idea that we should arrange a system by which new ideas could be developed, tried out, and tossed out if necessary, with more new ideas brought in - a trial and error system.
Richard P. Feynman
The truth always turns out to be simpler than you thought.
Richard P. Feynman
I learned from her that every woman is worried about her looks, no matter how beautiful she is.
Richard P. Feynman
A poet once said, The whole universe is in a glass of wine. We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe.
Richard P. Feynman
What we need is imagination, but imagination in a terrible strait-jacket.
Richard P. Feynman
There’s so much distance between the fundamental rules and the final phenomenon, that it’s almost unbelievable that the final variety of phenomenon can come from such a steady operation of such simple rules.
Richard P. Feynman
Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.
Richard P. Feynman
We've learned from experience that the truth will out.
Richard P. Feynman
All mass is interaction.

If the professors of English will complain to me that the students who come to the universities, after all those years of study, still cannot spell 'friend,' I say to them that something's the matter with the way you spell friend.
Richard P. Feynman
When things are going well, something will go wrong. / When things just can't get any worse, they will. / Anytime things appear to be going better, you have overlooked something.
Richard P. Feynman
If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics.
Richard P. Feynman
I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why I wonder.
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
If you can't explain something to a first year student, then you haven't really understood .
Richard P. Feynman
It is odd, but on the infrequent occasions when I have been called upon in a formal place to play the bongo drums, the introducer never seems to find it necessary to mention that I also do theoretical physics.
Richard P. Feynman
I find that teaching and the students keep life going, and I would never accept any position in which somebody has invented a happy situation for me where I don't have to teach. Never.
Richard P. Feynman
Outside of their particular area of expertise scientists are just as dumb as the next person.
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
Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter.
Richard P. Feynman
