The electron is a theory. But the theory is so good we can almost consider them real. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
But the real glory of science is that we can find a way of thinking such that the law is evident. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The electron is a theory we use; it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Some things that satisfy the rules of algebra can be interesting to mathematicians even though they don't always represent a real situation. — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
Our imagination is stretched to the utmost, not, as in fiction, to imagine things which are not really there, but just to… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
It has not yet become obvious to me that there's no real problem. I cannot define the real problem; therefore, I suspect… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I don't like honors. ... I've already got the prize: the prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
When I would hear the rabbi tell about some miracle such as a bush whose leaves were shaking but there wasn't any… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
[When a young person loses faith in his religion because he begins to study science and its methodology] it isn't that [through… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The philosophical question before us is, when we make an observation of our track in the past, does the result of our… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image

The real question of government versus private enterprise is argued on too philosophical and abstract a basis. Theoretically, planning may be good.… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I am a successful lecturer in physics for popular audiences. The real entertainment gimmick is the excitement, drama and mystery of the… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
So, ultimately, in order to understand nature it may be necessary to have a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships. But the real… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I don't like honors. I'm appreciated for the work that I did, and for people who appreciate it, and I notice that… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
You know how it always is, every new idea, it takes a generation or two until it becomes obvious that there's no… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
The only way to have real success in science, the field I'm familiar with, is to describe the evidence very carefully without… — 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
“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 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

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
![“[When a young person loses faith in his religion because he begins to study science and its methodology] it isn't that [through the obtaining of real knowledge that] he knows it all, but he suddenly realizes that he doesn't know it all.” quote by Richard P.
