More quotes by 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
But still try, for who knows what is possible?
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
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
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

Michael Faraday
Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature.
Michael Faraday
Nothing is to wonderful to be true.
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
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
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
Chemistry is necessarily an experimental science: its conclusions are drawn from data, and its principles supported by evidence from facts.
Michael Faraday
Physicist is both to my mouth and ears so awkward that I think I shall never use it. The equivalent of three separate sounds of I in one word is too much.
Michael Faraday
A man who is certain he is right is almost sure to be wrong.
Michael Faraday
I shall be with Christ, and that is enough.
Michael Faraday
