There is no harm in doubt and skepticism, for it is through these that new discoveries are made. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
When a scientist doesn't know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has a hunch as to what the… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image

“You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it’s much more interesting to… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
Our freedom to doubt was born out of a struggle against authority in the early days of science. It was a very… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
From a long view of the history of mankind, seen from, say, ten thousand years from now, there can be little doubt… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
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
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
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
“[Doubt] is not a new idea; this is the idea of the age of reason. This is the philosophy that guided the… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
“The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of very great importance, I… — 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 Image
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 Image
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 Image
Mathematics is a language plus reasoning; it is like a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
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 Image

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 Image
“There's a big difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.” — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The fact that you are not sure means that it is possible that there is another way someday. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
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 Image
![“[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.
