F is for Feynman


This year, my theme is Quotes from A-Z.  Each day I will post a quote from a person whose name starts with each day's letter.  It will be short and sweet but hopefully it will bring a moment of inspiration, laughter, or meditation to your busy day.  I would love to hear your thoughts on the quotes in the comments or what other quote is your favorite by that day's person. On each Saturday, I will list all the quotes from the week and you can vote to tell me which was your favorite!

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












Hope you're having a great week!

Kathy :)

    He's right - most people are only fooling themselves.

    Short. Sweet. Thought-provoking. And, in this case, so true.

    Sadly true. We lie to ourselves a lot.

    Sometimes we are lying to ourselves because we see ourselves differently than others do.

    Oh my gosh, that is so true! We are easy to fool ourselves! Especially when we start thinking about perhaps our bad habits and then think "oh no, they really aren't that bad."

    Good theme Kathy! One learns something new with quotes. What more if you are extending one daily!

    I love Feynman. If you study no other physicist, he's the one. I especially like his autobiography, Surely You're Joking.
