Image
I am on the edge of mysteries and the veil is getting thinner and thinner.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Blessed is he who carries within himself a God, an ideal, and obeys it.
Louis Pasteur
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Intuition is given only to him who has undergone long preparation to receive it.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Do not let yourself be tainted with a barren skepticism.
Louis Pasteur
Image

Chance favours the trained mind.

Image
You have not succeeded in your experiments, that is all there is to it.

Image
Posterity will one day laugh at the foolishness of modern materialistic philosophers.
Louis Pasteur

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
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
... by chance you will say, but chance only favors the mind which is prepared.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Do not put forward anything that you cannot prove by experimentation.
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
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
Never will the doctrine of spontaneous generation recover from the mortal blow struck by this simple experiment.
Louis Pasteur
Image
It is not the germs we need worry about. It is our inner terrain.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages.
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.
