Man can learn nothing unless he proceeds from the known to the unknown.

Art is 'I'; science is 'we'.

[Those] who have an excessive faith in their theories or in their ideas are not only poorly disposed to make discoveries, but they also make very poor observations.

Science increases our power in proportion as it lowers our pride.

The joy of discovery is certainly the liveliest that the mind of man can ever feel.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

True science teaches us to doubt and, in ignorance, to refrain.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

In science, the best precept is to alter and exchange our ideas as fast as science moves ahead.

Science rejects the indeterminate.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Particular facts are never scientific; only generalization can establish science.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Science admits no exceptions; ...

Science admits no exceptions; otherwise there would be no determinism in science, or rather, there would be no science.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

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 101 quotes

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 101 quotes

In the philosophic sense, observation shows and experiment teaches.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Man does not limit himself to ...

Man does not limit himself to seeing; he thinks and insists on learning the meaning of phenomena whose existence has been revealed to him by observation. So he reasons, compares facts, puts questions to them, and by the answers which he extracts, tests one by another. This sort of control, by means of reasoning and facts, is what constitutes experiment, properly speaking; and it is the only process that we have for teaching ourselves about the nature of things outside us.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Obervation is a passive science, experimentation is an active science.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

We must never make experiments...

We must never make experiments to confirm our ideas, but simply to control them.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

It is impossible to devise an ...

It is impossible to devise an experiment without a preconceived idea; devising an experiment, we said, is putting a question; we never conceive a question without an idea which invites an answer. I consider it, therefore, an absolute principle that experiments must always be devised in view of a preconceived idea, no matter if the idea be not very clear nor very well defined.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Even mistaken hypotheses and t...

Even mistaken hypotheses and theories are of use in leading to discoveries. This remark is true in all the sciences. The alchemists founded chemistry by pursuing chimerical problems and theories which are false. In physical science, which is more advanced than biology, we might still cite men of science who make great discoveries by relying on false theories. It seems, indeed, a necessary weakness of our mind to be able to reach truth only across a multitude of errors and obstacles.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Descriptive anatomy is to physiology what geography is to history, and just as it is not enough to know the typography of a country to understand its history, so also it is not enough to know the anatomy of organs to understand their functions.

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.
