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.
Louis Pasteur

One must not assume that an understanding of science is present in those who borrow the language
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.

The grandeur of the acts of men are measured by the inspiration from which they spring. Happy is he who bears a God within.
Louis Pasteur
Image
Science proceeds by successive answers to questions more and more subtle, coming nearer and nearer to the very essence of phenomena.
Louis Pasteur

Do not promote what you can't explain, simplify, and prove early.
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.
