I have taken your advice, and the names used are anode cathode anions cations and ions; the last I shall have but little occasion for.

It may be a weed instead of a fish that, after all my labour, I at last pull up Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Although we know nothing of what an atom is, yet we cannot resist forming some idea of a small particle, which represents it to the mind... there is an immensity of facts which justify us in believing that the atoms of matter are in some way endowed or associated with electrical powers, to which they owe their most striking qualities, and amongst them their mutual chemical affinity Picture Quote #1

I have long held an opinion, almost amounting to conviction, in common I believe with many other lovers of natural knowledge, that the various forms under which the forces of matter are made manifest have one common origin; or, in other words, are so directly related and mutually dependent, that they are convertible, as it were, one into another, and possess equivalents of power in their action Picture Quote #1

Lectures which really teach will never be popular; lectures which are popular will never really teach Picture Quote #1

Occasionally and frequently the exercise of the judgment ought to end in absolute reservation. It may be very distasteful, and great fatigue, to suspend a conclusion; but as we are not infallible, so we ought to be cautious; we shall eventually find our advantage, for the man who rests in his position is not so far from right as he who, proceeding in a wrong direction, is ever increasing his distance Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
