Who said never confuse education with intelligence?

“Never confuse education with intelligence, you can have a PhD and still be an idiot,” is one of Richard Feynman’s most popular quotes.

Richard Phillips Feynman, an American theoretical physicist known for his work in quantum mechanics’ path integral formulation, quantum electrodynamic theory, superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium physics, and particle physics, for which he proposed the parton model, was also known for his mind-boggling quotes.

He has created other quotes about studies and life, some of which are as follows:

• “Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.”
• “The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.”
• “What I cannot create, I do not understand.”
• “I would rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.”
• “Intelligence is ability to learn from experience, solve problems, and use our knowledge to adapt to new situations.”

Feynman, who was born on May 11, 1918, invented a widely used pictorial representation technique for mathematical equations describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which became known as Feynman diagrams.

During his lifetime, Feynman rose to become one of the world’s most well-known scientists.

He was named the seventh-greatest physicist of all time in a survey of 130 eminent physicists globally conducted by the British publication Physics World in 1999.

Feynman died on February 15, 1988, following a protracted fight with liposarcoma, a rare kind of cancer.
