It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

From Richard P. Feynman

Once I get on a puzzle, I can't get off.

From Richard P. Feynman

What one fool can understand, another can.

From Richard P. Feynman

From Richard P. Feynman

I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.

From Richard P. Feynman

If I could explain it to the average person, I wouldn't have been worth the Nobel Prize.

From Richard P. Feynman

Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.

From Richard P. Feynman

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.

From Richard P. Feynman

From Richard P. Feynman
