The greatness of human actions is measured by the inspiration that it brings. Blessed is he who carries within himself a God, an ideal of beauty and obeys it: an ideal of art, ideal of science, ideal of country, ideal of the Gospel virtues! These are the wellsprings of great thoughts and great actions. All reflections illuminate the infinite.
-- Louis Pasteur (27 December 1822 - 28 September 1895), French microbiologist, chemist, and pioneer of the "Germ theory of disease", Discours de réception de Louis Pasteur (27 April 1882)
