I think that when we know that we actually do live in uncertainty, then we ought to admit it; it is of… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
This attitude of mind - this attitude of uncertainty - is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image

Science is a way to teach how something gets to be known, what is not known, to what extent things are known… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“Once you start doubting, just like you’re supposed to doubt, you ask me if the science is true. You say no, we… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Another of the qualities of science is that it teaches the value of rational thought, as well as the importance of freedom… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“Philosophers have said before that one of the fundamental requisites of science is that whenever you set up the same conditions, the same thing… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
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… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
Trying to understand the way nature works involves a most terrible test of human reasoning ability. It involves subtle trickery, beautiful tightropes of logic… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
Mathematics is a language plus reasoning; it is like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
It is necessary for the very existence of science that minds exist which do not allow that nature must satisfy some preconceived conditions. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
“There was a Princess Somebody of Denmark sitting at a table with a number of people around her, and I saw an empty chair… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
All the time you're saying to yourself, 'I could do that, but I won't,'--which is just another way of saying that you can't. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
“There's a big difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.” — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
One cannot understand... the universality of laws of nature, the relationship of things, without an understanding of mathematics. There is no other way to… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
Mathematics is not just a language. Mathematics is a language plus reasoning. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
A poet once said, "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he meant that,… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
I was a very shy character, always feeling uncomfortable because everybody was stronger than I, and always afraid I would look like a sissy.… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share
![“[Doubt] is not a new idea; this is the idea of the age of reason. This is the philosophy that guided the men who made the democracy that we live under. 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…” quote by Richard P.
