Science knows no country because it is the light that iluminates the world
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.
Louis Pasteur
The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its indirect consequences. The universe is asymmetric.
Louis Pasteur
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science.
Louis Pasteur

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
Messieurs, c'est les microbes qui auront le dernier mot. (Gentlemen, it is the microbes who will have the last word.)
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
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
To know how to wonder and question is the first step of the mind toward discovery.
Louis Pasteur
Did you ever observe to whom the accidents happen? Chance favors only the prepared mind.
Louis Pasteur
Posterity will one day laugh at the sublime foolishness of the modern materialistic philosophy. The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. I pray while I am engaged at my work in the laboratory.
Louis Pasteur
Worship the spirit of criticism. If reduced to itself it is not an awakener of ideas or a stimulant to great things, but, without it, everything is fallible it always has the last word.
Louis Pasteur
If it is a terrifying thought that life is at the mercy of the multiplication of these minute bodies [microbes], it is a consoling hope that Science will not always remain powerless before such enemies.
Louis Pasteur
