More From Richard P. Feynman

Knowledge by itself does not give understanding. nor is understanding increased by an increase of knowledge alone. understanding depends upon the relation of knowledge to being...it appears only when a man feels and senses what is connected with it.
Men Giving Understanding
The most valuable thing a teacher can impart to children is not knowledge and understanding per se but a longing for knowledge and understanding, and an appreciation for intellectual values, whether they be artistic, scientific, or moral. it is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. most teachers waste their time by asking questions that are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning is to discover what the pupil does know or is capable of knowing.

This society in which knowledge workers dominate is in danger of a new "class conflict" between the large minority of knowledge workers and the majority of workers who will make their livings through traditional ways, either by manual work... or by service work. the productivity of knowledge work - still abysmally low - will predictably become the economic challenge of the knowledge society. on it will depend the ability of the knowledge society to give decent incomes, and with them dignity and status, to non knowledge people.
Class Giving People
With this book in my hands, reading aloud to my friends, questioning them, explaining to them, i was made clearly to understand that i had no friends, that i was alone in the world. because in not understanding the meaning of the words, neither i nor my friends, one thing became very clear and that was that there were ways of not understanding and that the difference between the non-understanding of one individual and the non-understanding of another created a world of terra firma even more solid than differences of understanding.
Book Reading Hands
'in his celebrated book, 'on liberty', the english philosopher john stuart mill argued that silencing an opinion is "a peculiar evil." if the opinion is right, we are robbed of the "opportunity of exchanging error for truth"; and if it's wrong, we are deprived of a deeper understanding of the truth in its "collision with error." if we know only our own side of the argument, we hardly know even that: it becomes stale, soon learned by rote, untested, a pallid and lifeless truth.'
Truth Book Opportunity
The endless cycle of idea and action, endless invention, endless experiment, brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness; knowledge of speech, but not of silence; knowledge of words, and ignorance of the word. all our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance, all our ignorance brings us nearer to death, but nearness to death no nearer to god. where is the life we have lost in living? where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? where is the knowledge we have lost in information? the cycles of heaven in twenty centuries bring us farther from god and nearer to the dust.

Similar Quotes
We must know, if only in order to learn not to know. the supreme lesson of human consciousness is to learn how not to know. that is, how not to interfere.
Education Ignorance Knowledge
I try to hold both history and wilderness in mind, that my poems may the true measure of things and stand against the unbalance and ignorance of our times.
Ignorance Mind Trying
Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.
Peace Patriotic Ignorance
The angel is free because of his knowledge, the beast because of his ignorance. between the two remains the son of man to struggle.
