The ‘Dramatic Picture' of Richard Feynman by Freeman Dyson
The ‘Dramatic Picture' of Richard Feynman by Freeman Dyson. "He never showed the slightest resentment when I published some of his ideas before he did. He told me that he avoided disputes about priority in science by following a simple rule: “Always give the bastards more credit than they deserve.” I have followed this rule myself. I find it remarkably effective for avoiding quarrels and making friends. A generous sharing of credit is the quickest way to build a healthy scientific community."
