Louis Pasteur

I am a man of science, and I believe in the power of reason.

My life has been a series of efforts, and I have never given up.

I hope that my work will be useful to future generations.

The more I advance, the more I am convinced that the truth is simple.

I am deeply touched by your kindness and support.

My dear friend, do not lose courage, for success is within reach.

I have always been driven by a thirst for knowledge.

I am dedicating my life to the study of microbes.

My greatest desire is to alleviate human suffering.

I believe that science and religion are not incompatible.

The true scientist is one who is always questioning.

I am filled with hope for the future of medicine.

My work is my life, and my life is my work.

I have always sought to combine theory with practice.

The greatest lesson I have learned is the importance of observation.

Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest embodiment of the patriotism of the future.

The universe is asymmetric and I am persuaded that life, as it is known to us, is a direct or indirect result of the asymmetry of the universe or of its consequence.

I am on the verge of mysteries, and the veil which covers them is getting thinner and thinner.

Science progresses one funeral at a time.

The true character of a man is not seen in the front door, but in the back door.
