The grandeur of the acts of men are measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a God within.
Louis Pasteur
Image
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.

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
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
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
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.

One must not assume that an understanding of science is present in those who borrow the language

There is no such thing as applied science, only the application of pure science.
