The whole art of making experiments in chemistry is founded on the principle: we must always suppose an exact equality or equation between the principles of the body examined and those of the products of its analysis. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
It is not only by the pores of the skin that this aqueous emaciation takes place. A considerable quantity of humidity is also exhaled by the lungs at each expiration. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
Vegetables are organized bodies that grow on the dry areas of the globe and within its waters. Their function is to combine immediately the four elements and to serve as food for animals. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
It is almost possible to predict one or two days in advance, within a rather broad range of probability, what the weather is going to be; it is even thought that it will not be impossible to publish daily forecasts, which would be very useful to soci. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
{Comment to Delambre on chemist Antoine Lavoisier's execution during the French Revolution}

Only a moment to cut off that head and a hundred years may not give us another like it. ~ Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Joseph-Louis Lagrange
Nothing is born, nothing dies. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
I consider nature a vast chemical laboratory in which all kinds of composition and decompositions are formed. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
If everything in chemistry is explained in a satisfactory manner without the help of phlogiston, it is by that reason alone infinitely probable that the principle does not exist; that it is a hypothetical body, a gratuitous supposition; indeed, it is in the principles of good logic, not to multiply bodies without necessity. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
This theory [the oxygen theory] is not as I have heard it described, that of the French chemists, it is mine (elle est la mienne); it is a property which I claim from my contemporaries and from posterity. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
You have heard of the new chemical nomenclature endeavored to be introduced by Lavoisier, Fourcroy, &c. Other chemists of this country, of equal note, reject it, and prove in my opinion that it is premature, insufficient and false. These latter are joined by the British chemists; and upon the whole, I think the new nomenclature will be rejected, after doing more harm than good. There are some good publications in it, which must be translated into the ordinary chemical language before they will be useful. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Thomas Jefferson
The impossibility of separating the nomenclature of a science from the science itself, is owing to this, that every branch of physical science must consist of three things; the series of facts which are the objects of the science, the ideas which represent these facts, and the words by which these ideas are expressed. Like three impressions of the same seal, the word ought to produce the idea, and the idea to be a picture of the fact. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
Since it is the very substance of the animal, it is the blood which transports the fuel.If the animal did not habitually replace, through nourishing themselves,what they losethrough respiration, the lamp would very soon run out of oil and the animal would perish, just as the lamp goes out when it lacks fuel. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
The art of drawing conclusions from experiments and observations consists in evaluating probabilities and in estimating whether they are sufficiently great or numerous enough to constitute proofs. This kind of calculation is more complicated and more difficult than it is commonly thought to be ... ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
We all teach ... the chemistry of Lavoisier and Gay-Lussac. ~ Marcellin Berthelot
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Marcellin Berthelot
The attempt of Lavoisier to reform chemical nomenclature is premature. One single experiment may destroy the whole filiation of his terms; and his string of sulphates, sulphites, and sulphures, may have served no end than to have retarded the progress of science by a jargon, from the confusion of which time will be requisite to extricate us. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Thomas Jefferson
A wealthy landowner cannot cultivate and improve his farm without spreading comfort and well-being around him. Rich and abundant crops, a numerous population and a prosperous countryside are the rewards for his efforts. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
I have had a fairly long life, above all a very happy one, and I think that I shall be remembered with some regrets and perhaps leave some reputation behind me. What more could I ask? The events in which I am involved will probably save me from the troubles of old age. I shall die in full possession of my faculties, and that is another advantage that I should count among those that I have enjoyed. If I have any distressing thoughts, it is of not having done more for my family; to be unable to give either to them or to you any token of my affection and my gratitude is to be poor indeed. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
The human mind adjusts itself to a certain point of view, and those who have regarded nature from one angle, during a portion of their life, can adopt new ideas only with difficulty. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
It took them only an instant to cut of that head, but it is unlikely that a hundred years will suffice to reproduce a singular one. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
We must trust to nothing but facts: These are presented to us by Nature, and cannot deceive. We ought, in every instance, to submit our reasoning to the test of experiment, and never to search for truth but by the natural road of experiment and observation. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
I am young and avid for glory. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
As ideas are preserved and communicated by means of words, it necessarily follows that we cannot improve the language of any science, without at the same time improving the science itself; neither can we, on the other hand, improve a science without improving the language or nomenclature which belongs to it. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
Diminish the mass of evils that afflict the human species, increase enjoyment and well-being. And even if the new routes opened up could prolong the average life of mankind by only a few hours, or even a few days, then the scientist, too could aspire. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
Languages are true analytical methods. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
It required 85 parts by weight of oxygen and 15 parts of hydrogen to compose 100 parts of water. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
About eight days ago I discovered that sulfur in burning, far from losing weight, on the contrary, gains it; it is the same with phosphorus; this increase of weight arises from a prodigious quantity of air that is fixed during combustion and combines with the vapors. This discovery, which I have established by experiments, that I regard as decisive, has led me to think that what is observed in the combustion of sulfur and phosphorus may well take place in the case of all substances that gain in weight by combustion and calcination; and I am persuaded that the increase in weight of metallic calyxes is due to the same cause ... This discovery seems to me one of the most interesting that has been made since Stahl and since it is difficult not to disclose something inadvertently in conversation with friends that could lead to the truth I have thought it necessary to make the present deposit to the Secretary of the Academy to await the time I make my experiments public. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
Life is a chemical process. ~ Antoine Lavoisier
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Lavoisier
They say love is blind ... but it isn't. Love is perfect sight. Love is the ability to see a person, I mean really see him-his strengths, his weaknesses, his flaws, all his past triumphs and mistakes-and view that person not as the world says you're supposed to see him, but as you see him-as that special someone you know you will always embrace, body and soul, no matter what anyone else says or thinks
I know I can't tell anyone what I've been through. I know they wouldn't understand. They don't see him the way that I see him. All they know is the legend, the darkness. They don't know the inner beauty, the warmth and the joy more intense than anything I ever thought was possible to experience.
They don't know the truth behind the name.
My angel.
My only.
Lucifer. ~ Marlon Pierre-Antoine
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Marlon Pierre-Antoine
Nothing can match the treasure of common memories, of trials endured together, of quarrels and reconciliations and generous emotions. It is idle, having planted an acorn in the morning, to expect that afternoon to sit in the shade of the oak. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
The villages were lighting up, constellations that greeted each other across the dusk. And, at the touch of his finger, his flying-lights flashed back a greeting to them. The earth grew spangled with light signals as each house lit its star, searching the vastness of the night as a lighthouse sweeps the sea. Now every place that sheltered human life was sparkling. And it rejoiced him to enter into this one night with a measured slowness, as into an anchorage. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
It is true that technical progress in modern times has linked men together like a complex nervous system. The means of travel are numerous and communication is instantaneous - we are joined together materially like the cells of a single body, but this body has as yet no soul. This organism is not yet aware of its unity as a whole. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
If there was one thing that defined adolescence it was hysterical laughter. You never laughed like that again. In adolescence the brutal realisation that the world and life were completely absurd made you laugh until you couldn't catch your breath, whereas in later life it would only result in a weary sigh. ~ Antoine Laurain
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Laurain
But I like to go to movies with my son because it's still fun; it reminds me of why I make movies. ~ Antoine Fuqua
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Fuqua
Truth, for any man, is that which makes him a man. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
Fame is an empty noise. Let us put our ears to the centuries that have gone: we no longer hear anything; those who, at another time, shall walk among our urns, shall hear no more. The good - that is what we must pursue, whatever the price, preferring the title of a dead hero to that of a living coward. ~ Louis Antoine De Saint-Just
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Louis Antoine De Saint-Just
It's a small thing, a life. ~ Antoine Leiris
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Leiris
We don't ask to be eternal beings. We only ask that things do not lose all their meaning. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
I believe in God, absolutely. ~ Antoine Fuqua
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Fuqua
Trying to be witty leads to lying, more or less. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
This water was very different from any ordinary food. It was born from the walk under the stars, the song of the pulley, the effort of carrying him in my arms. It did the heart good, like a present. When I was a little boy, the lights of the Christmas tree, the music of the midnight mass, the sweetness of people's smiles, all formed part of the radiance of the Christmas gifts I received. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
What I really need is a friend just like me; I'm sure I'd be my own best friend. ~ Antoine Laurain
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Laurain
Once it was believed that to bring these creatures to manhood it was enough to feed them, clothe them, and look to their everyday needs; but we see now that the result of this has been to turn out petty shopkeepers, village politicians, hollow technicians devoid of an inner life. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
You know ... when you are sad you love the sunsets. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
One nation is weakened by a victory, another finds new forces in defeat ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
...misunderstood and forgotten, you have great truths within you if only anyone would bother to look. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night ... You, only you, will have stars that can laugh at night ... ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
To endeavor to move by the same discourse hearers who differ in age, sex, position and education is to attempt to open all locks with the same key. ~ Jean Antoine Petit-Senn
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Jean Antoine Petit-Senn
The primary cause of disease is in us, always in us. ~ Antoine Bechamp
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Bechamp
At five-thirty the rain began to fall in great, heavy drops which bounced off the pavement before they spread out into black spots. At the same time thunder rumbled from the direction of Charenton and an eddy of wind lifted the dust, carried away the hats of passers-by who took to their heels and who, after a few confused moments, were all in the shelter of doorways or under the awnings of cafe terraces.
Street pedlars of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine scurried about with an apron or a sack over their heads, pushing their carts as they tried to run. Rivulets already began to flow along the two sides of the street, the gutters sang, and on every floor you could see people hurriedly closing their windows. ~ Georges Simenon
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Georges Simenon
Lying gets all the recompenses, then, while despair and loneliness are the rewards of constancy and fidelity. ~ Antoine Francois Prevost D'Exiles
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Francois Prevost D'Exiles
Monarchy is an outrage which even the blind of an entire people cannot justify ... all men hold from nature the secret mission to destroy wherever it my be found. No man can reign innocently. The folly is too evident. Every king is a rebel and a usurper. Do kings themselves treat otherwise those who seek to usurp their authority? ~ Louis Antoine De Saint-Just
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Louis Antoine De Saint-Just
The grandeur of a profession is ... above all, uniting men: there is only one true luxury, that of human relationships. ~ Antoine De Saint Exupery
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine De Saint Exupery
It is the most insignificant moments, where there is nothing to show, nothing to tell, that are the most beautiful. ~ Antoine Leiris
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Leiris
Women read each other at a single glance. ~ Antoine Rivarol
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Rivarol
A state attacked by another which renews an old claim rarely yields it without a war: it prefers to defend its territory, as is always more honorable. But it may be advantageous to take the offensive, instead of awaiting the attack on the frontiers. ~ Antoine-Henri Jomini
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine-Henri Jomini
Love! love!.. thou art never to be reconciled with discretion! ~ Antoine Francois Prevost D'Exiles
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Francois Prevost D'Exiles
The body moves through space every day, and in architecture in cities that can be orchestrated. Not in a dictatorial fashion, but in a way of creating options, open-ended sort of personal itineraries within a building. And I see that as akin to cinematography or choreography, where episodic movement, episodic moments, occur in dance and film. ~ Antoine Predock
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine Predock
It is certainly of great importance for a general to keep his plans secret; and Frederick the Great was right when he said that if his night-cap knew what was in his head he would throw it into the fire. That kind of secrecy was practicable in Frederick's time when his whole army was kept closely about him; but when maneuvers of the vastness of Napoleon's are executed, and war is waged as in our day, what concert of action can be expected from generals who are utterly ignorant of what is going on around them? ~ Antoine-Henri Jomini
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Antoine-Henri Jomini
When a people, having become free, establish wise laws, their revolution is complete ... Peace and prosperity, public virtue, victory, everything is in the vigor of the laws. Outside of the laws, everything is sterile and dead. ~ Louis Antoine De Saint-Just
Antoine Lavoisier quotes by Louis Antoine De Saint-Just
