Put off your imagination, as you put off your overcoat, when you enter the laboratory. Put it on again, as you put on your overcoat, when you leave.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Obervation is a passive science, experimentation is an active science.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
All the vital mechanisms, varied as they are, have only one object, that of preserving constant the conditions of life in the internal environment.
CLAUDE BERNARD -

CLAUDE BERNARD -
Science admits no exceptions; otherwise there would be no determinism in science, or rather, there would be no science.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
A discovery is generally an unforeseen relation not included in theory.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Priestley said that each discovery we make shows us many others that should be made.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Science does not permit exceptions.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
The investigator should have a robust faith – and yet not believe.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Well-observed facts, though brought to light by passing theories, will never die; they are the material on which alone the house of science will at last be built.
CLAUDE BERNARD -

CLAUDE BERNARD -

CLAUDE BERNARD -
The mental never influences the physical. It is always the physical that modifies the mental, and when we think that the mind is diseased, it is always an illusion.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
True science teaches us to doubt and, in ignorance, to refrain.
CLAUDE BERNARD
