More quotes by Louis Pasteur
Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.
Louis Pasteur
Where are the real sources of human dignity, freedom and modern democracy, if not in the concept of infinity to which all men are equal?
Louis Pasteur
These three things-work, will, success-fill human existences. Will opens the door to success, both brilliant and happy. Work passes these doors, and at the end of the journey success comes in to crown one's efforts.
Louis Pasteur
The grandeur of the acts of men are measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a God within.
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
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
One must not assume that an understanding of science is present in those who borrow the language
Louis Pasteur
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
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
Do not put forward anything that you cannot prove by experimentation.
Louis Pasteur
If science has no country, the scientist should have one, and ascribe to it the influence which his works may have in this world.
Louis Pasteur
Chance favours the trained mind.
Louis Pasteur
Live in the serene peace of laboratories and libraries
Louis Pasteur
The Greeks understood the mysterious power of the below things. They are the ones who gave us one of the most beautiful words in our language, the word enthusiasm.
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
Worship the spirit of criticism.
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
Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War...
Louis Pasteur
Since the most ancient times, all men, and particularly those who endeavored in the practice of medicine, have brought closer together two natural phenomena of capital importance: illness or fever and fermentation.
Louis Pasteur
The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Science brings men nearer to God.
Louis Pasteur
