I give them experiments and they respond with speeches.
Louis Pasteur

Louis Pasteur
Image
Blessed is he who carries within himself a God, an ideal, and obeys it.
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
Nothing is lost and nothing is created in the operations of art as those of nature.
Louis Pasteur
Image
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
Image
Chance favors the prepared mind.
Louis Pasteur
Image
After death, life reappears in a different form and with different laws. It is inscribed in the laws of the permanence of life on the surface of the earth and everything that has been a plant and an animal will be destroyed and transformed into a gaseous, volatile and mineral substance.
Louis Pasteur
