The greatest disorder of the mind is to let will direct it.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Messieurs, c'est les microbes qui auront le dernier mot. (Gentlemen, it is the microbes who will have the last word.)
Louis Pasteur
Image
Live in the serene peace of laboratories and libraries
Louis Pasteur
Image
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
Science proceeds by successive answers to questions more and more subtle, coming nearer and nearer to the very essence of phenomena.
Louis Pasteur
Image
The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. Science brings men nearer to God.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Did you ever observe to whom the accidents happen? Chance favors only the prepared mind.
Louis Pasteur
Image
My opinion - nay more, my conviction - is that, in the present state of science, as you rightly say, spontaneous generation is a chimera and it would be impossible for you to contradict me, for my experiments all stand forth to prove that spontaneous generation is a chimera.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Do not put forward anything that you cannot prove by experimentation.
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
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 universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its indirect consequences. The universe is asymmetric.
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
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Louis Pasteur
Image
The grandeur of the acts of men are measured by the inspiration from which they spring.
Louis Pasteur
Image
The only thing that can bring joy is work.
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.
Louis Pasteur
Image
One must not assume that an understanding of science is present in those who borrow the language
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. 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

It is not the germs we need worry about. It is our inner terrain.
Louis Pasteur
