Luck favors the mind that is prepared. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
But the doctors in the past, as the review of the evidence showed, branded Jenner, Semmelweis, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., Pasteur, Lister, Koch and Keen as charlatans ... Napoleon said that war is too important to be left to the generals. We go on the assumption in the Senate that foreign relations are too important to be left to the diplomats ... this question (on a novel cancer cure) is too important to leave purely to doctors ... ~ Paul Douglas
Pasteur quotes by Paul Douglas
Pasteur, L. 1854. Chance favours only the prepared mind. ~ John M. Ziman
Pasteur quotes by John M. Ziman
I am utterly convinced that Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War, that nations will eventually unite not to destroy but to edify, and that the future will belong to those who have done the most for the sake of suffering humanity. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Will opens the door to success, both brilliant and happy. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Nothing is lost and nothing is created in the operations of art as those of nature. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Cheesecake. Are you shitting me? Who invented that? Probably Jesus of Nazareth. Or maybe Louis Pasteur. It makes me physically sick to think that Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, yet the name of the inventor of cheesecake isn't tattooed on Dick Cheney's face. ~ Rob Delaney
Pasteur quotes by Rob Delaney
The Ancients understood the omnipotence of the underside of things. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
The greatest malfunction of spirit is to believe things. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
There is no such thing as applied science, only the application of pure science. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Pasteur himself was absolutely fearless. Anxious to secure a sample of saliva straight from the jaws of a rabid dog, I once saw him with the glass tube held between his lips draw a few drops of the deadly saliva from the mouth of a rabid bull-dog, held on the table by two assistants, their hands protected by leather gloves. ~ Axel Munthe
Pasteur quotes by Axel Munthe
Inspiration is the impact of a fact on a well-prepared mind ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Great problems are now being handled, keeping every thinking man in suspense; the unity or multiplicity of human races; the creation of man 1,000 years or 1,000 centuries ago; the fixity of species, or the slow and progressive transformation of one species into another; the eternity of matter; the idea of a God unnecessary: such are some of the questions that humanity discusses nowadays. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
I propose to provide proof ... that just as always an alcoholic ferment, the yeast of beer, is found where sugar is converted into alcohol and carbonic acid, so always a special ferment, a lactic yeast, is found where sugar is transformed into lactic acid. And, furthermore, when any plastic nitrogenated substance is able to transform sugar into that acid, the reason is that it is a suitable nutrient for the growth of the [lactic] ferment. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Intuition is given only to him who has undergone long preparation to receive it.
-Louis Pasteur ~ Mitch Kynock
Pasteur quotes by Mitch Kynock
Our only consolation, as we feel our own strength failing us, is to feel that we may help those who come after us to do more and to do better than ourselves, fixing their eyes as they can on the great horizons of which we only had a glimpse," pronounced Pasteur, with characteristic gallantry. Many ~ Bill Wasik
Pasteur quotes by Bill Wasik
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
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its indirect consequences. The universe is asymmetric. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Life comes only from life. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Science advances through tentative answers to a series of more and more subtle questions which reach deeper and deeper into the essence of natural phenomena. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
The greatest derangement of the mind is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
You have not succeeded in your experiments, that is all there is to it. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
When I approach a child he inspires in me two sentiments tenderness for what he is and respect for what he may become. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
How do you know that the incessant progress of science will not compel scientists to consider that life has existed during eternity, and not matter? ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
The controls of life are structured as forms and nuclear arrangements, in a relation with the motions of the universe. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
When you believe you have found an important scientific fact, and are feverishly curious to publish it, constrain yourself for days, weeks, years sometimes, fight yourself, try and ruin your own experiments, and only proclaim your discovery after having exhausted all contrary hypotheses. But when, after so many efforts you have at last arrived at a certainty, your joy is one of the greatest which can be felt by a human soul. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
The earliest discovery of Pasteur, and for him the most exciting in all his life, was the asymmetry of molecules as a specific characteristic of living organisms-in other words, the fact that the molecules of living matter come in two varieties which, though chemically identical, are in their spatial structure like mirror images to each other-or like right and left gloves. 'Left-handed' molecules rotate polarized light to the left, 'right-handed' molecules to the right; life substances are thus 'optically active'. Why this should be so we still do not quite know; but it remains a challenging fact that 'no other chemical characteristic is as distinctive of living organisms as is optical activity'. ~ Arthur Koestler
Pasteur quotes by Arthur Koestler
Fortune favors the well-prepared. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Since the most ancient times, all men, and particularly those who endeavored in the practice of medicine, have brought closer together two natural phenomena of capital importance: illness or fever and fermentation. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
My son, all my life I have loved this science so deeply that I can now hear my heart beat for joy.

{Commenting about Louis Pasteur's accomplishment of separating two asymmetric forms of tartaric acid crystals.} ~ Jean-Baptiste Biot
Pasteur quotes by Jean-Baptiste Biot
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
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
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
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
In good philosophy, the word cause ought to be reserved to the single Divine impulse that has formed the universe. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Do not promote what you can't explain, simplify, and prove early. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
We may regard the cell quite apart from its familiar morphological aspects, and contemplate its constitution from the purely chemical standpoint. We are obliged to adopt the view, that the protoplasm is equipped with certain atomic groups, whose function especially consists in fixing to themselves food-stuffs, of importance to the cell-life. Adopting the nomenclature of organic chemistry, these groups may be designated side-chains. We may assume that the protoplasm consists of a special executive centre (Leistungs-centrum) in connection with which are nutritive side-chains... The relationship of the corresponding groups, i.e., those of the food-stuff, and those of the cell, must be specific. They must be adapted to one another, as, e.g., male and female screw (Pasteur), or as lock and key (E. Fischer). ~ Paul R. Ehrlich
Pasteur quotes by Paul R. Ehrlich
Chance favors those who are prepared. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
The grandeur of the acts of men are measured by the inspiration from which they spring. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
I prefer not to starve, to live by the practice of medicine, which combines the best features of both science and philosophy with that imponderable and enlightening element, disease, unknown in its normality to either. But, like Pasteur, when he was young, or anyone else who has something to do, I wish I had more money for my literary experiments.
William Carlos Williams, c. 1931 ~ William Carlos Williams
Pasteur quotes by William Carlos Williams
I have the faith of a Breton peasant and by the time I die I hope to have the faith of a Breton peasant's wife. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
The world is in an extremely dangerous situation, and serious diseases often require the risk of a dangerous cure like the Pasteur serum for rabies. ~ Alan Watts
Pasteur quotes by Alan Watts
The role of the infinitely small in nature is infinitely great. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Where are the real sources of human dignity, freedom and modern democracy, if not in the concept of infinity to which all men are equal? ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
If you could sit down with Jesus, you wouldn't need anybody else. He could answer all of your questions. Instead of Einstein and Louis Pasteur and Madame Curry, you could just have Jesus and he could answer for all of them. ~ Carol Alt
Pasteur quotes by Carol Alt
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
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
A body of work such as Pasteur's is inconceivable in our time: no man would be given a chance to create a whole science. Nowadays a path is scarcely opened up when the crowd begins to pour in. ~ Jean Rostand
Pasteur quotes by Jean Rostand
Louis Pasteur said, 'Chance favors the prepared mind.' If you're really engaged in the writing, you'll work yourself out of whatever jam you find yourself in. ~ Michael Chabon
Pasteur quotes by Michael Chabon
Oh my goodness the mystery that has prompted my objective. My quality lies exclusively in my tirelessness. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Many older physicians had gone to their graves calling Pasteur a liar, a fool, or worse
and without examining evidence which their "common sense" told them was impossible. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Pasteur quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Luck favors the prepared." -Louis Pasteur . . . but actually for me, Edna from The Incredibles. At least I admitted it. ~ Mike Gullickson
Pasteur quotes by Mike Gullickson
Science brings men nearer to God. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Virulence appears in a new light which cannot but be alarming to humanity; unless nature, in her evolution down the ages (an evolution which, as we now know, has been going on for millions, nay, hundreds of millions of years), has finally exhausted all the possibilities of producing virulent or contagious diseases - which does not seem very likely. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Pasteur equally as mischief-makers. As late as 1883, Michel Peter, a Parisian physician held in high esteem by his colleagues, went so far as to denounce Pasteur's work to his face, at an address at the National Academy of Medicine. "What do I care about your microbes? . . . I have said, and I repeat, that all this research on microbes are not worth the time spent on them or the fuss made about them, and that after all the work nothing would be changed in medicine, there would only be a few extra microbes. Medicine . . . is threatened by the invasion of incompetent, and rash persons given to dreaming." But as the discoveries mounted, these holdouts were increasingly marginalized. ~ Thomas Goetz
Pasteur quotes by Thomas Goetz
One must work; one must work. I have done what I could. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
But when it has been shown by the researches of Pasteur that the septic property of the atmosphere depended not on the oxygen, or any gaseous constituent, but on minute organisms suspended in it, which owed their energy to their vitality, it occurred to me that decomposition in the injured part might be avoided without excluding the air, by applying as a dressing some material capable of destroying the life of the floating particles. Upon this principle I have based a practice. ~ Joseph Lister
Pasteur quotes by Joseph Lister
One must not assume that an understanding of science is present in those who borrow the language ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Tell him solitude is creative if he is strong
and the final decisions are made in silent rooms.
Tell him to be different from other people
if it comes natural and easy being different.
Let him have lazy days seeking his deeper motives.
Let him seek deep for where he is a born natural.
Then he may understand Shakespeare
and the Wright brothers, Pasteur, Pavlov,
Michael Faraday and free imaginations
Bringing changes into a world resenting change.
He will be lonely enough
to have time for the work
he knows as his own. ~ Carl Sandburg
Pasteur quotes by Carl Sandburg
It wasn't until the 1860s, and some landmark work by Louis Pasteur in France, that it was shown conclusively that life cannot arise spontaneously but must come from pre-existing cells. ~ Bill Bryson
Pasteur quotes by Bill Bryson
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. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Science knows no country because it is the light that iluminates the world ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
To know how to wonder and question is the first step of the mind toward discovery. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Pasteur said, like all great discoverers, he knew something about accidental discoveries. The best way to get maximal exposure is to keep researching. Collect opportunities-- ~ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Pasteur quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
There are no such things as applied sciences, only applications of science. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
As in the experimental sciences, truth cannot be distinguished from error as long as firm principles have not been established through the rigorous observation of facts. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
There are two men in each one of us: the scientist, he who starts with a clear field and desires to rise to the knowledge of Nature through observations, experimentation and reasoning, and the man of sentiment, the man of belief, the man who mourns his dead children, and who cannot, alas, prove that he will see them again, but who believes that he will, and lives in the hope – the man who will not die like a vibrio, but who feels that the force that is within him cannot die. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Pasteur originally conceived the idea of germs and of destroying them. Although this started as a personal thing, it has mushroomed into DDT, killing beetles and worms, resulting in food contamination, much sickness, and trouble. Although he is regarded as hero by modern medicine, Pasteur will be treated in much the same way as a warmonger when he is judged in the spiritual world. ~ Michio Kushi
Pasteur quotes by Michio Kushi
If it is a terrifying thought that life is at the mercy of the multiplication of these minute bodies [microbes], it is a consoling hope that Science will not always remain powerless before such enemies ... ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
In that memorable year, 1822: Oersted, a Danish physicist, held in his hands a piece of copper wire, joined by its extremities to the two poles of a Volta pile. On his table was a magnetized needle on its pivot, and he suddenly saw (by chance you will say, but chance only favours the mind which is prepared) the needle move and take up a position quite different from the one assigned to it by terrestrial magnetism. A wire carrying an electric current deviates a magnetized needle from its position. That, gentlemen, was the birth of the modern telegraph. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
If perchance you should falter during the journey, a hand would be there to support you. If that should be wanting, God, who alone could take that hand from you, would Himself accomplish its work. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
The idea of God is a form of the idea of the Infinite. As long as the mystery of the Infinite weighs on human thought, temples will be erected for the worship of the Infinite, whether God be called 'Brahma,' 'Allah,' 'Jehovah,' or 'Jesus'; and on the pavement of those temples men will be seen kneeling, prostrate, annihilated, in the thought of the Infinite. At these supreme moments there is something in the depths of our souls which tells us that the world may be more than a mere continuation of phenomena proper to a mechanical equilibrium brought out of the chaos of the elements through the gradual action of the forces of matter. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Career"

Galileo, the clergy maintained,
was a pernicious and stubborn man.
But time has a way of demonstrating
the most stubborn are the most intelligent.

In Galileo's day, a fellow scientist
was no more stupid than Galileo.
He was well aware the earth revolved,
but he also had a large family to feed.

Stepping into a carriage with his wife,
after effecting his betrayal,
he believed he was launched on a career,
though he was undermining it in reality.

Galileo alone had risked asserting
the truth about our planet,
and this made him a great man... His was
a genuine career as I understand it.

I salute then a career,
when the career is akin to
that of a Shakespeare or Pasteur,
a Newton or Tolstoy- Leo!

Why did people fling mud at them all?
Talent speaks for itself, whatever the charges.
We've forgotten the men who abused them,
Remember only the victims of slander.

All who rushed into the stratosphere,
the doctors who perished fighting cholera,
were, all of them, men of career!
I take their careers as my example!

I believe in their sacred faith.
Their faith is my very manhood.
I shall therefore pursue my career
by trying not to pursue one. ~ Yevgeny Yevtushenko
Pasteur quotes by Yevgeny Yevtushenko
In the fields of observation chance favors only those minds which are prepared. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
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. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
The greatest disorder of the mind is to let will direct it. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
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. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Lister saw the vast importance of the discoveries of Pasteur. He saw it because he was watching on the heights, and he was watching there alone. ~ Thomas Clifford Allbutt
Pasteur quotes by Thomas Clifford Allbutt
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. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
My present and most fixed opinion regarding the nature of alcoholic fermentation is this: The chemical act of fermentation is essentially a phenomenon correlative with a vital act, beginning and ending with the latter. I believe that there is never any alcoholic fermentation without their being simultaneously the organization, development, multiplication of the globules, or the pursued, continued life of globules which are already formed. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
A bit of science distances one from God, but much science nears one to Him. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Actually, what we really need to remember about Galileo is that most of the people who use his name in argument could barely spell it, let alone tell us what actually happened to the man. His case is used over and over again because critics can't think of any other scientists who were mistreated by the Church. And in this instance they're right. There may have been some people in the scientific world who did not enjoy Church support and were even challenged by Catholicism but, sorry to disappoint, there weren't very many of them. The Church has been the handmaiden of science and scientific discovery, and those who refer to Galileo tend to forget that Louis Pasteur, the inventor of pasteurization, was a devout Catholic, as was Alexander Fleming, who gave us penicillin. Or Father Nicolaus Copernicus, who first proposed the theory of the earth revolving around the sun - this was precisely what Galileo stated, but Copernicus taught it as theory and not fact. Or Monsignor Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître, a Belgian Roman Catholic priest and professor of physics at the Catholic University of Leuven, who proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe. In the field of acceleration, Fr. Giambattista Riccioli changed the way we understand that particular science; the father of modern Egyptology was Fr. Athanasius Kircher, and the Yugoslavian Fr. Roger Boscovich was the founder of modern atomic theory. ~ Michael Coren
Pasteur quotes by Michael Coren
Doctors, I find, have a very materialistic outlook. The spiritual seems to be strangely hidden from them. They pin their faith on Science - but what I say is... what is Science - what can it do?"
There seemed, to Hercule Poirot, to be no answer to the question other than a meticulous and painstaking description embracing Pasteur, Lister, Humphrey Davy's safety lamp - the convenience of electricity in the home and several hundred other kindred items. But that, naturally, was not the answer Mrs Lionel Cloade wanted. ~ Agatha Christie
Pasteur quotes by Agatha Christie
Wine is the healthiest and most health-giving of drinks. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Science and peace will triumph over ignorance and war. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Question your priorities often, make sure God always comes first. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
It would seem to me that I was committing a theft if I were to let one day go by without doing some work. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Helena's telling Sorcha that the media are OH! MY! GOD! totally ignoring what's going on in Rwanda, we're talking four years on from the genocide, with thousands of unarmed civilians being extrajudicially executed by government soldiers - 'It's like, HELLO?' - while almost 150,000 people detained in connection with the 1994 genocide are being held without, like, trial. She goes, 'I'm not even going to _stort_ on the thousands of refugees forcibly returned to Burundi. It's like, do NOT even go there.' Sorcha's saying that President Pasteur Bizimungu SO should be indicted for war crimes if half of what she's read on the Internet is true. She's there, 'It's like, OH! MY! GOD!' but I'm not really listening, roysh, I'm giving the old mince pies to Amanda, this total lasher who's, like, second year Orts. ~ Paul Howard
Pasteur quotes by Paul Howard
Posterity will one day laugh at the foolishness of modern materialistic philosophers. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Cultivate your curiosity. Keep it sharp and always working. Consider curiosity your life preserver, your willingness to try something new. Second, enlarge your enthusiasm to include the pursuit to excellence, following every task through to completion. Third, make the law of averages work for you. By budgeting your time more carefully than most people you can make more time available. Does the combination of curiosity, enthusiasm, and the law of averages guarantee success Indeed it does not ... Success in the final analysis always involves luck or the element of chance. Louis Pasteur grasped this well when he said that chance favors the prepared mind. ~ John Hanley Jr.
Pasteur quotes by John Hanley Jr.
The universe is asymmetric. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Chance favours the prepared mind. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
If you suppress laboratories, physical science will be stricken with barrenness and death. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
I once believed in Jenner; I once believed in Pasteur. I believed in vaccination. I believed in vivisection. But I changed my views as the result of hard thinking. ~ Walter Hadwen
Pasteur quotes by Walter Hadwen
Posterity will one day laugh at the sublime foolishness of the modern materialistic philosophy. The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator. I pray while I am engaged at my work in the laboratory. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
When it was suggested to Pasteur that many of his great achievements depended on luck, he replied - I'm sure with more than a little irritation - 'In the field of observation in science, fortune only favours the prepared mind.' It is not by chance that it is always the great scientists who have the luck. ~ Lewis Wolpert
Pasteur quotes by Lewis Wolpert
Chance favors only be prepared mind. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
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
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
You bring me the deepest joy that can be felt by a man whose invincible belief is that Science and Peace will triumph over Ignorance and War, that nations will unite, not to destroy, but to build, and that the future will belong to those who will have done most for suffering humanity. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
Wine is the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages. ~ Louis Pasteur
Pasteur quotes by Louis Pasteur
In the course of an extended investigation into the nature of inflammation, and the healthy and morbid conditions of the blood in relation to it, I arrived several years ago at the conclusion that the essential cause of suppuration in wounds is decomposition brought about by the influence of the atmosphere upon blood or serum retained within them, and, in the case of contused wounds, upon portions of tissue destroyed by the violence of the injury.

To prevent the occurrence of suppuration with all its attendant risks was an object manifestly desirable, but till lately apparently unattainable, since it seemed hopeless to attempt to exclude the oxygen which was universally regarded as the agent by which putrefaction was effected. But when it had been shown by the researches of Pasteur that the septic properties of the atmosphere depended not on the oxygen, or any gaseous constituent, but on minute organisms suspended in it, which owed their energy to their vitality, it occurred to me that decomposition in the injured part might be avoided without excluding the air, by applying as a dressing some material capable of destroying the life of the floating particles. ~ Joseph Lister
