More quotes by 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
There is no such thing as applied science, only the application of pure science.
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
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
Image
When one works and imagines and dreams of nothing else than the search for answers that God has posed, it is difficult to be so still.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Science knows no country because it is the light that iluminates the world
Louis Pasteur

Science brings men nearer to God.
Louis Pasteur
Image
It is not the germs we need worry about. It is our inner terrain.
Louis Pasteur
Image
My strength lies solely in my tenacity.
Louis Pasteur
Image
These three things-work, will, success-fill human existences. Will opens the door to success, both brilliant and happy. Work passes these doors, and at the end of the journey success comes in to crown one's efforts.
Louis Pasteur
Image
I give them experiments and they respond with speeches.
Louis Pasteur
Image
To know how to wonder and question is the first step of the mind toward discovery.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Nothing is lost and nothing is created in the operations of art as those of nature.
Louis Pasteur
Image
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
