More quotes by Louis Pasteur
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.
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
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
Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War...
Louis Pasteur
Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.
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
Oh my goodness the mystery that has prompted my objective. My quality lies exclusively in my tirelessness.
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
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
Nothing is lost and nothing is created in the operations of art as those of nature.
Louis Pasteur
Science knows no country because it is the light that iluminates the world
Louis Pasteur
The Greeks bequeathed to us one of the most beautiful words in our language--the word 'enthusiasm'--en theos--a god within. The grandeur of human actions is measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a god within, and who obeys it.
Louis Pasteur
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
La fortuna juega a favor de una mente preparada
Louis Pasteur
I give them experiments and they respond with speeches.
Louis Pasteur
Worship the spirit of criticism.
Louis Pasteur
Whether our efforts are, or not, favored by life, let us be able to say, when we come near to the great goal, I have done what I could.
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
Change only favours minds that are diligently looking and preparing for discovery.
