Blessed is he who carries within himself a God, an ideal, and who obeys it: ideal of art, ideal of science, ideal of the gospel virtues, therein lie the springs of great thoughts and great actions; they all reflect light from the Infinite.
Quoted by Sir William Osler in his introduction to "The Life of Pasteur" by Rene Vallery-Radot, as translated by R .L. Devonshire, 1923.
