Art is ‘I’; science is ‘we’.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Priestley said that each discovery we make shows us many others that should be made.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
In teaching man, experimental science results in lessening his pride more and more by proving to him every day that primary causes, like the objective reality of things, will be hidden from him forever and that he can only know relations.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Theories are like a stairway; by climbing, science widens its horizon more and more, because theories embody and necessarily include proportionately more facts as they advance.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Effects vary with the conditions which bring them to pass, but laws do not vary. Physiological and pathological states are ruled by the same forces; they differ only because of the special conditions under which the vital laws manifest themselves.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Now, a living organism is nothing but a wonderful machine endowed with the most marvellous properties and set going by means of the most complex and delicate mechanism.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
With the aid of these active experimental sciences man becomes an inventor of phenomena, a real foreman of creation; and under this head we cannot set limits to the power that he may gain over nature through future progress of the experimental sciences.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
We achieve more than we know. We know more than we understand. We understand more than we can explain.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Science admits no exceptions; otherwise there would be no determinism in science, or rather, there would be no science.
CLAUDE BERNARD -

CLAUDE BERNARD -
The terrain is everything; the germ is nothing.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Particular facts are never scientific; only generalization can establish science.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
We must never make experiments to confirm our ideas, but simply to control them.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
When entering on new ground we must not be afraid to express even risky ideas so as to stimulate research in all directions. As Priestley put it, we must not remain inactive through false modesty based on fear of being mistaken.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
The better educated we are and the more acquired information we have, the better prepared shall we find our minds for making great and fruitful discoveries.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
A great discovery is a fact whose appearance in science gives rise to shining ideas, whose light dispels many obscurities and shows us new paths.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
If I had to define life in a single phrase, I should clearly express my thought of throwing into relief one characteristic which, in my opinion, sharply differentiates biological science. I should say: life is creation.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
The stability of the internal medium is a primary condition for the freedom and independence of certain living bodies in relation to the environment surrounding them.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Those who do not know the torment of the unknown cannot have the joy of discovery.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
But while I accept specialization in the practice, I reject it utterly in the theory of science.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Experiment is fundamentally only induced observation.
CLAUDE BERNARD -
Science rejects the indeterminate.
