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.

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

When I came to know Mrs. Marcet personally how often I cast my thoughts backward, delighting to connect the past and the present how often, when sending a paper to her as a thank you offering, I thought of my first instructress.

Water is to me, I confess, a phenomenon which continually awakens new feelings of wonder as often as I view it.
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.

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.'

It may be a weed instead of a fish that, after all my labour, I at last pull up.
Michael Faraday
Image
The condition of matter I have dignified by the term Electronic, THE ELECTRONIC STATE. What do you think of that? Am I not a bold man, ignorant as I am, to coin words?
Michael Faraday
Image
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
Image
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.

Work, finish, publish.
Michael Faraday
Image
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
Image
Chemistry is necessarily an experimental science: its conclusions are drawn from data, and its principles supported by evidence from facts.

Nothing is to wonderful to be true.

Who would not have been laughed at if he had said in 1800 that metals could be extracted from their ores by electricity or that portraits could be drawn by chemistry.
