Life comes only from life.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Time is the best appraiser of scientific work, and I am aware that an industrial discovery rarely produces all its fruit in the hands of its first inventor.
Louis Pasteur
Image
After death, life reappears in a different form and with different laws. It is inscribed in the laws of the permanence of life on the surface of the earth and everything that has been a plant and an animal will be destroyed and transformed into a gaseous, volatile and mineral substance.
Louis Pasteur

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

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.

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.

... by chance you will say, but chance only favors the mind which is prepared.
Louis Pasteur
Image
There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are sciences and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.
Louis Pasteur
Image
It is not the germs we need worry about. It is our inner terrain.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Do not promote what you can't explain, simplify, and prove early.
Louis Pasteur
Image
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
No, there is now no circumstance known in which it can be affirmed that microscopic beings came into the world without germs, without parents similar to themselves. Those who affirm it have been duped by illusions, by ill-conducted experiments, spoilt by errors that they either did not perceive or did not know how to avoid.
