Don't worry about anything. Go out and have a good time.
Richard Feynman -
That is the logical tight-rope on which we have to walk if we wish to interpret nature.
Richard Feynman

We are lucky to live in an age in which we are still making discoveries.
Richard 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 Feynman -
In fact the total amount that a physicist knows is very little. He has only to remember the rules to get him from one place to another and he is all right.
Richard Feynman -
Science is of value because it can produce something.
Richard Feynman -
The other thing that gives a scientific man the creeps in the world today are the methods of choosing leaders - in every nation. Today, for example, in the United States, the two political parties have decided to employ public relations men, that is, advertising men, who are trained in the necessary methods of telling the truth or lying in order to develop a product.
Richard Feynman -
If there is something very slightly wrong in our definition of the theories, then the full mathematical rigor may convert these errors into ridiculous conclusions.

I learned a lot of different things from different schools. MIT is a very good place…. It has developed for itself a spirit, so that every member of the whole place thinks that it’s the most wonderful place in the world—it’s the center, somehow, of scientific and technological development in the United States, if not the world … and while you don’t get a good sense of proportion there, you do get an excellent sense of being with it and in it, and having motivation and desire to keep on
Richard Feynman -
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 Feynman -
It is simple, therefore it is beautiful
Richard Feynman -
What I am going to tell you about is what we teach our physics students in the third or fourth year of graduate school... It is my task to convince you not to turn away because you don't understand it. You see my physics students don't understand it... That is because I don't understand it. Nobody does.
Richard Feynman -
I believe that a scientist looking at nonscientific problems is just as dumb as the next guy.
Richard Feynman -
It appears that there are enormous differences of opinion as to the probability of a failure with loss of vehicle and of human life. The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management.

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 Feynman -
The world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things
Richard Feynman -
There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.
Richard Feynman -
There is a computer disease that anybody who works with computers knows about. It's a very serious disease and it interferes completely with the work. The trouble with computers is that you 'play' with them!
Richard Feynman -
I have argued flying saucers with lots of people. I was interested in possible. They do not appreciate that the problem is not to demonstrate whether it's possible or not but whether it's going on or not.
Richard Feynman -
The game I play is a very interesting one. It's imagination in a straightjacket, which is this: that it has to agree with the known laws of physics. ... It requires imagination to think of what's possible, and then it requires an analysis back, checking to see whether it fits, whether its allowed, according to what's known, okay?
Richard Feynman
-
What I cannot create, I do not understand.
Richard Feynman -
A great deal more is known than has been proved.
Richard Feynman -
What Do You Care What Other People Think?
Richard Feynman -
The worthwhile problems are the ones you can really solve or help solve, the ones you can really contribute something to... No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.
