In good philosophy, the word cause ought to be reserved to the single Divine impulse that has formed the universe.
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.

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

The Greeks understood the mysterious power of the below things. They are the ones who gave us one of the most beautiful words in our language, the word enthusiasm.
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
You have not succeeded in your experiments, that is all there is to it.
Louis Pasteur
Image
... by chance you will say, but chance only favors the mind which is prepared.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Luck favors the mind that is prepared.
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.

God grant that by my persevering labours I may bring a little stone to the frail and ill-assured edifice of our knowledge of those deep mysteries of Life and Death where all our intellects have so lamentably failed.
