Richard P. Feynman Quote: “I, a universe of atoms, an atom in the universe.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Teach principles not formulas.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Physics isn’t the most important thing. Love is.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell. Possibly. It doesn’t frighten me.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Know how to solve every problem that has been solved.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “If all of mathematics disappeared, physics would be set back by exactly one week.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Mathematics is a language plus reasoning; it is like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Nature has a great simplicity and therefore a great beauty.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “People who wish to analyze nature without using mathematics must settle for a reduced understanding.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “The highest forms of understanding we can achieve are laughter and human compassion.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Tell your son to stop trying to fill your head with science – for to fill your heart with love is enough.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Everything we know is only some kind of approximation, because we know that we do not know all the laws yet. Therefore, things must be learned only to be unlearned again or, more likely, to be corrected.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Some people say, “How can you live without knowing?” I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Experiment is the sole judge of the validity of any idea.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “The world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “The electron is a theory we use; it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call it real.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “You see, the chemists have a complicated way of counting: instead of saying “one, two, three, four, five protons”, they say, “hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron.””

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “The exception tests the rule.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Outside of their particular area of expertise scientists are just as dumb as the next person.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “My rule is, when you are unhappy, think about it. But when you’re happy, don’t. Why spoil it? You’re probably happy for some ridiculous reason and you’d just spoil it to know it.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “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.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Computer science is not as old as physics; it lags by a couple of hundred years. However, this does not mean that there is significantly less on the computer scientist’s plate than on the physicist’s: younger it may be, but it has had a far more intense upbringing!”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Our imagination is stretched to the utmost, not, as in fiction, to imagine things which are not really there, but just to comprehend those things which are there.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “There is enough energy in a single cubic meter of space to boil all the oceans in the world.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “But see that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “It does not matter who you are, or how smart you are, or what title you have, or how many of you there are, and certainly not how many papers your side has published, if your prediction is wrong then your hypothesis is wrong. Period.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “All theoretical chemistry is really physics; and all theoretical chemists know it.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven. The same key opens the gates of hell. And so it is with science.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “I don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding, they learn by some other way – by rote or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “We have found it of paramount importance that in order to progress, we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “For far more marvelous is the truth than any artists of the past imagined it. Why do the poets of the present not speak of it? What men are poets who can speak of Jupiter if he were a man, but if he is an immense spinning sphere of methane and ammonia must be silent?”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Thank you very Much, I enjoyed myself.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Since then I never pay attention to anything by “experts”. I calculate everything myself.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naive ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher’s ideals are.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “There is nothing in biology yet found that indicates the inevitability of death. This suggests to me that it is not at all inevitable and that it is only a matter of time before biologists discover what it is that is causing us the trouble.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Precise language is not the problem. Clear language is the problem.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Today’s brains are yesterday’s mashed potatoes.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Some people think Wheeler’s gotten crazy in his later years, but he’s always been crazy.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “I have the advantage of having found out how hard it is to get to really know something. How careful you have to be about checking your experiments. How easy it is to make mistakes and fool yourself. I know what it means to know something.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “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 Quote: “You see, I get so much fun out of thinking that I don’t want to destroy this pleasant machine that makes life such a big kick.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “For those who want some proof that physicists are human, the proof is in the idiocy of all the different units which they use for measuring energy.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “The electron is a theory. But the theory is so good we can almost consider them real.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “A person talks in such generalities that everyone can understand him and it’s considered to be some deep philosophy. However, I would like to be very rather more special and I would like to be understood in an honest way, rather than in a vague way.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “This is the key of modern science and is the beginning of the true understanding of nature. This idea. That to look at the things, to record the details, and to hope that in the information thus obtained, may lie a clue to one or another of a possible theoretical interpretation.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “Energy is a very subtle concept. It is very, very difficult to get right.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “It is scientific only to say what is more likely and what less likely, and not to be proving all the time the possible and impossible.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “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 Quote: “But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “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 Quote: “People may come along and argue philosophically that they like one better than another; but we have learned from much experience that all philosophical intuitions about what nature is going to do fail.”

Richard P. Feynman Quote: “The inside of a computer is as dumb as hell but it goes like mad!”
