Louis Pasteur
Intuition is given only to him who has undergone long preparation to receive 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

Louis Pasteur

Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War...
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
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
In good philosophy, the word cause ought to be reserved to the single Divine impulse that has formed the universe.
Louis Pasteur
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
Posterity will one day laugh at the foolishness of modern materialistic philosophers.
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
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
In matters of observation chance favors only the prepared mind. (not literal translation) - Dan's les champs de observation le hasard ne favorise que les esprits prepares.
Louis Pasteur
The more I know, the more nearly is my faith that of the Breton peasant. Could I but know all I would have the faith of a Breton peasant woman.
