“That was a very good way to get educated, working on the senior problems and learning how to pronounce things.” — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Science is a process for learning about nature in which competing ideas about how the world works are measured against observations. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
First figure out why you want the students to learn the subject and what you want them to know, and the method… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I find that teaching and the students keep life going, and I would never accept any position in which somebody has invented… — 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
