More quotes by Louis Pasteur
To bring one's self to believe in a truth that has just dawned upon one is the first step towards progress to persuade others is the second.
Louis Pasteur
Every chemical substance, whether natural or artificial, falls into one of two major categories, according to the spatial characteristic of its form. The distinction is between those substances that have a plane of symmetry and those that do not. The former belong to the mineral, the latter to the living world.
Louis Pasteur
Worship the spirit of criticism. If reduced to itself it is not an awakener of ideas or a stimulant to great things, but, without it, everything is fallible it always has the last word.
Louis Pasteur
The role of the infinitely small in nature is infinitely great.
Louis Pasteur
Science proceeds by successive answers to questions more and more subtle, coming nearer and nearer to the very essence of phenomena.
Louis Pasteur
No, there is now no circumstance known in which it can be affirmed that microscopic beings came into the world without germs, without parents similar to themselves. Those who affirm it have been duped by illusions, by ill-conducted experiments, spoilt by errors that they either did not perceive or did not know how to avoid.
Louis Pasteur
Time is the best appraiser of scientific work, and I am aware that an industrial discovery rarely produces all its fruit in the hands of its first inventor.
Louis Pasteur
Intuition is given only to him who has undergone long preparation to receive it.
Louis Pasteur
Nothing is lost and nothing is created in the operations of art as those of nature.
Louis Pasteur
It is not the germs we need worry about. It is our inner terrain.
Louis Pasteur
Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.
Louis Pasteur
Did you ever observe to whom the accidents happen? Chance favors only the prepared mind.
Louis Pasteur
Do not put forward anything that you cannot prove by experimentation.
Louis Pasteur
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.
Louis Pasteur
Worship the spirit of criticism.
Louis Pasteur
I give them experiments and they respond with speeches.
Louis Pasteur
In good philosophy, the word cause ought to be reserved to the single Divine impulse that has formed the universe.
Louis Pasteur
There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are sciences and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.
Louis Pasteur
To know how to wonder and question is the first step of the mind toward discovery.
Louis Pasteur
Science brings men nearer to God.
Louis Pasteur
