More quotes by 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
I happen to have discovered a direct relation between magnetism and light, also electricity and light, and the field it opens is so large and I think rich.
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
Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature.
Michael Faraday
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
Water is to me, I confess, a phenomenon which continually awakens new feelings of wonder as often as I view it.
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 shall be with Christ, and that is enough.
Michael Faraday
But still try, for who knows what is possible?
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 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
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
... and what good is a baby?
Michael Faraday
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.
Michael Faraday
There’s nothing quite as frightening as someone who knows they are right.
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
A man who is certain he is right is almost sure to be wrong.
Michael Faraday
Chemistry is necessarily an experimental science: its conclusions are drawn from data, and its principles supported by evidence from facts.
Michael Faraday
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.
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
