“ 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
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.
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.
