One does not ask of one who suffers: What is your country and what is your religion? One merely says: You suffer, that is enough for me.
Louis Pasteur
Image
To know how to wonder and question is the first step of the mind toward discovery.
Louis Pasteur
Image
It is a matter of fact I approached without a preconceived idea, too ready to declare, if the experiment had imposed upon me the confession, that there was a spontaneous generation, of which I am convinced today that those who assure it are blindfolded.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Posterity will one day laugh at the sublime foolishness of the modern materialistic philosophy. The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. I pray while I am engaged at my work in the laboratory.
Louis Pasteur
Image
The only thing that can bring joy is work.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Do not put forward anything that you cannot prove by experimentation.
Louis Pasteur
Image
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
Image
Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.
Louis Pasteur
