These chemistry quotes will inspire you. Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. It is a natural science that covers the elements that make up matter to the compounds composed of atoms, molecules, and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior, and the changes they undergo during a reaction with other substances.
Below you will find a collection of motivating, happy, and encouraging chemistry quotes, chemistry sayings, and chemistry proverbs.

- “I think chemistry is being frittered away by the hairsplitting of the organic chemists; we have new compounds discovered, which scarcely differ from the known ones and when discovered are valueless-very illustrations perhaps of their refinements in analysis, but very little aiding the progress of true science.” ~ Michael Faraday
-
“The first serious applications were in triterpenoid chemistry.” ~ Derek Barton
