More quotes by Michael Faraday
Chemistry is necessarily an experimental science: its conclusions are drawn from data, and its principles supported by evidence from facts.
Michael Faraday
I shall be with Christ, and that is enough.
Michael Faraday
Since peace is alone the gift of God, and as it is He who gives it, why should we be afraid? His unspeakable gift in His beloved Son is the ground of no doubtful hope.
Michael Faraday
In place of practising wholesome self-abnegation, we ever make the wish the father to the thought: we receive as friendly that which agrees with, we resist with dislike that which opposes us whereas the very reverse is required by every dictate of common sense.
Michael Faraday
But still try, for who knows what is possible?
Michael Faraday
... and what good is a baby?
Michael Faraday
I think chemistry is being frittered away by the hairsplitting of the organic chemists we have new compounds discovered, which scarcely differ from the known ones and when discovered are valueless-very illustrations perhaps of their refinements in analysis, but very little aiding the progress of true science.
Michael Faraday
There’s nothing quite as frightening as someone who knows they are right.
Michael Faraday
The world little knows how many of the thoughts and theories which have passed through the mind of a scientific investigator, have been crushed in silence and secrecy by his own severe criticism and adverse examination!
Michael Faraday
There is no more open door by which you can enter into the study of natural philosophy than by considering the physical phenomena of a candle
Michael Faraday
I have far more confidence in the one man who works mentally and bodily at a matter than in the six who merely talk about it.
Michael Faraday
I can at any moment convert my time into money, but I do not require more of the latter than is sufficient for necessary purposes.
Michael Faraday
Tyndall, ... I must remain plain Michael Faraday to the last and let me now tell you, that if accepted the honour which the Royal Society desires to confer upon me, I would not answer for the integrity of my intellect for a single year.
Michael Faraday
I will simply express my strong belief, that that point of self-education which consists in teaching the mind to resist its desires and inclinations, until they are proved to be right, is the most important of all, not only in things of natural philosophy, but in every department of dally life.
Michael Faraday
Work, finish, publish.
Michael Faraday
It is right that we should stand by and act on our principles but not right to hold them in obstinate blindness, or retain them when proved to be erroneous.
Michael Faraday
It is on record that when a young aspirant asked Faraday the secret of his success as a scientific investigator, he replied, 'The secret is comprised in three words- Work, Finish, Publish.'
Michael Faraday
Water is to me, I confess, a phenomenon which continually awakens new feelings of wonder as often as I view it.
Michael Faraday
Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature.
Michael Faraday
It may be a weed instead of a fish that, after all my labour, I at last pull up.
Michael Faraday
