Image
The science of life is a superb and dazzlingly lighted hall which may be reached only by passing through a long and ghastly kitchen.
Claude Bernard
Image
In a word, I consider hospitals only as the entrance to scientific medicine they are the first field of observation which a physician enters but the true sanctuary of medical science is a laboratory only there can he seek explanations of life in the normal and pathological states by means of experimental analysis.
Claude Bernard
Image
Science rejects the indeterminate.
Claude Bernard
Image
The stability of the internal medium is a primary condition for the freedom and independence of certain living bodies in relation to the environment surrounding them.
Claude Bernard
Image
We achieve more than we know. We know more than we understand. We understand more than we can explain.
Claude Bernard
Image
The mental never influences the physical. It is always the physical that modifies the mental, and when we think that the mind is diseased, it is always an illusion.
Claude Bernard
Image
Put off your imagination, as you put off your overcoat, when you enter the laboratory. Put it on again, as you put on your overcoat, when you leave.
Claude Bernard
Image
The doubter is a true man of science: he doubts only himself and his interpretations, but he believes in science.
Claude Bernard
Image
Effects vary with the conditions which bring them to pass, but laws do not vary. Physiological and pathological states are ruled by the same forces they differ only because of the special conditions under which the vital laws manifest themselves.
Claude Bernard
Image
Obervation is a passive science, experimentation is an active science.
Claude Bernard
Image
The joy of discovery is certainly the liveliest that the mind of man can ever feel.
Claude Bernard
Image
Mediocre men often have the most acquired knowledge. It is in the darker. It is in the darker regions of science that great men are recognized they are marked by ideas which light up phenomena hitherto obscure and carry science forward.

True science teaches us to doubt and, in ignorance, to refrain.
Claude Bernard
Image
The experimenter who does not know what he is looking for will not understand what he finds.
Claude Bernard
Image
Science increases our power in proportion as it lowers our pride.
Claude Bernard
Image
If I had to define life in a single phrase, I should clearly express my thought of throwing into relief one characteristic which, in my opinion, sharply differentiates biological science. I should say: life is creation.
Claude Bernard
Image
The better educated we are and the more acquired information we have, the better prepared shall we find our minds for making great and fruitful discoveries.
Claude Bernard
Image
Science does not permit exceptions.
Claude Bernard
Image
The fact that knowledge endlessly recedes as the investigator is about to grasp it is what constitutes at the same time his torment and happiness.
