More quotes by Louis Pasteur
Do not put forward anything that you cannot prove by experimentation.
Louis Pasteur
Science proceeds by successive answers to questions more and more subtle, coming nearer and nearer to the very essence of phenomena.
Louis Pasteur
Science brings men nearer to God.
Louis Pasteur
Chance favors the prepared mind.
Louis Pasteur
The artificial products do not have any molecular dissymmetry and I could not indicate the existence of a more profound separation between the products born under the influence of life and all the others.
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
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
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
God grant that by my persevering labours I may bring a little stone to the frail and ill-assured edifice of our knowledge of those deep mysteries of Life and Death where all our intellects have so lamentably failed.
Louis Pasteur
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Louis Pasteur
Science knows no country because it is the light that iluminates the world
Louis Pasteur
... by chance you will say, but chance only favors the mind which is prepared.
Louis Pasteur
Intuition is given only to him who has undergone long preparation to receive it.
Louis Pasteur
The greatest disorder of the mind is to let will direct it.
Louis Pasteur
Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.
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
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
Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War...
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
Luck favors the mind that is prepared.
