“Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature.”
“Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature.”
Michael Faraday
“Taking him for all and all, I think it will be conceded that Michael Faraday was the greatest experimental philosopher the world has ever seen.”
John Tyndall, Faraday as a Discoverer“Underneath his sweetness and gentleness was the heat of a volcano. [Michael Faraday] was a man of excitable and fiery nature; but through high self-discipline he had converted the fire into a central glow and motive power of life, instead of permitting it to waste itself in useless passion.”
John Tyndall, Faraday as a Discoverer“If there was one overriding element to Faraday's character, it was humility. His 'conviction of deficiency,' as he called it, stemmed in part from his deep religiosity and affected practically every facet of his life. Thus Faraday approached both his science and his everyday conduct unhampered by ego, envy, or negative emotion. In his work, he assumed the inevitability of error and failure; whenever possible, he harnessed these as guides toward further investigation. Faraday adhered to no particular school of scientific thought. Nor did he flinch when a favored hypothesis fell to the rigors of experiment.”
Alan W. Hirshfeld, The Electric Life of Michael Faraday“... though he [Michael Faraday] took no cities, he captivated all hearts.”
John Tyndall, Faraday as a Discoverer“For self-educated scientists and thinkers such as Charles Darwin, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Leonardo-da-Vinci, Michael Faraday, myself and many others, education is a relentless voyage of discovery. To us education is an everlasting quest for knowledge and wisdom.”
Abhijit Naskar, The Education Decree“Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature.”
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 daily life.”
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“Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature.”
