More quotes by 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
Worship the spirit of criticism.
Louis Pasteur
Messieurs, c'est les microbes qui auront le dernier mot. (Gentlemen, it is the microbes who will have the last word.)

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
Do not promote what you can't explain, simplify, and prove early.
Louis Pasteur
I give them experiments and they respond with speeches.
Louis Pasteur
When I approach a child, he inspires in me two sentiments tenderness for what he is, and respect for what he may become.
