But still try for who knows what is possible!
Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature.
Where this quote comes from
Michael Faraday wrote this in his laboratory journal on 19 March 1849. The entry opens with the words "All this is a dream" and then tells himself to test the idea with a few experiments anyway. He adds that experiment is the best test of whether something is consistent with the laws of nature. The journal was later printed in The Life and Letters of Faraday (1870).

More from 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.
