... by chance you will say, but chance only favors the mind which is prepared.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Blessed is he who carries within himself a God, an ideal, and who obeys it: ideal of art, ideal of science, ideal of the gospel virtues, therein lie the springs of great thoughts and great actions they all reflect light from the Infinite.
Louis Pasteur
Image
If it is a terrifying thought that life is at the mercy of the multiplication of these minute bodies [microbes], it is a consoling hope that Science will not always remain powerless before such enemies.
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
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.

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
Image
The more I know, the more nearly is my faith that of the Breton peasant. Could I but know all I would have the faith of a Breton peasant woman.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.
Louis Pasteur
Image
In good philosophy, the word cause ought to be reserved to the single Divine impulse that has formed the universe.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Intuition is given only to him who has undergone long preparation to receive it.
Louis Pasteur
Image
When one works and imagines and dreams of nothing else than the search for answers that God has posed, it is difficult to be so still.
