The first entirely vital actio...

The first entirely vital action, so termed because it is not effected outside the influence of life, consists in the creation of the glycogenic material in the living hepatic tissue. The second entirely chemical action, which can be effected outside the influence of life, consists in the transformation of the glycogenic material into sugar by means of a ferment.

We achieve more than we know. We know more than we understand. We understand more than we can explain.

A contemporary poet has characterized this sense of the personality of art and of the impersonality of science in these words,-'Art is myself; science is ourselves. '

First causes are outside the realm of science.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

To be worthy of the name, an e...

To be worthy of the name, an experimenter must be at once theorist and practitioner. While he must completely master the art of establishing experimental facts, which are the materials of science, he must also clearly understand the scientific principles which guide his reasoning through the varied experimental study of natural phenomena. We cannot separate these two things: head and hand. An able hand, without a head to direct it, is a blind tool; the head is powerless without its executive hand.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

The constancy of the internal ...

The constancy of the internal environment is the condition for free and independent life: the mechanism that makes it possible is that which assured the maintenance, with the internal environment, of all the conditions necessary for the life of the elements.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

If I had to define life in a s...

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 101 quotes

In a word, I consider hospital...

In a word, I consider hospitals only as the entrance to scientific medicine; they are the first field of observation which a physician enters; but the true sanctuary of medical science is a laboratory; only there can he seek explanations of life in the normal and pathological states by means of experimental analysis.

We must alter theory to adapt it to nature, but not nature to adapt it to theory.ЂЋ

The true worth of an experimenter consists in his pursuing not only what he seeks in his experiment, but also what he did not seek.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Il ne fallait jamais faire des expГ©riences pour confirmer ses idГ©es, mais simplement pour les contrГґler.
We must never make experiments to confirm our ideas, but simply to control them.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

The doubter is a true man of s...

The doubter is a true man of science: he doubts only himself and his interpretations, but he believes in science.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

The great experimental princip...

The great experimental principle, then, is doubt, that philosophic doubt which leaves to the mind its freedom and initiative, and from which the virtues most valuable to investigators in physiology and medicine are derived.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

We must remain, in a word, in ...

We must remain, in a word, in an intellectual disposition which seems paradoxical, but which, in my opinion, represents the true mind of the investigator. We must have a robust faith and yet not believe.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Tout est poison, rien n'est poison, tout est une question de dose. Everything is poisonous, nothing is poisonous, it is all a matter of dose.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Effects vary with the conditio...

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 101 quotes

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 101 quotes

But while I accept specializat...

But while I accept specialization in the practice, I reject it utterly in the theory of science.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Feeling alone guides the mind....

Feeling alone guides the mind.

Claude Bernard 101 quotes

Our ideas are only intellectual instruments which we use to break into phenomena; we must change them when they have served their purpose, as we change a blunt lancet that we have used long enough.
