Louis Pasteur quotes about
Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.
Little science takes you away from God but more of it takes you to Him.
Question your priorities often, make sure God always comes first.
One does not ask of one who suffers: What is your country and what is your religion? One merely says: You suffer, that is enough for me
It is not the germs we need worry about. It is our inner terrain.
The controls of life are structured as forms and nuclear arrangements, in a relation with the motions of the universe.
A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.
Messieurs, c'est les microbes qui auront le dernier mot." (Gentlemen, it is the microbes who will have the last word.)

The names of these organisms are very numerous and will have to be defined and in part discarded. The word microbe which has the advantage of being shorter and carrying a more general meaning, and of having been approved by my illustrious friend, M. Littré, the most competent linguist in France, is one we will adopt.
It is surmounting difficulties that makes heroes.
Could I but know all, I would have the faith of a Breton peasant woman
Where observation is concerned, chance favors only the prepared mind.
Did you ever observe to whom the accidents happen? Chance favors only the prepared mind.
The greatest disorder of the mind is to let will direct it.
