If I can get some student interested in science, if I can show members of the general public what's going on up there in the space program, then my job's been done.

Good behavior is the last refuge of mediocrity.

Henry S. Haskins

It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much, the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons

Douglas Adams

Nature puts no question and answers none which we mortals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution.

Henry David Thoreau

I know the path by heart, by heart- a funny expression, so true. My heart knows right where to go.

Cynthia Hand

If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.

Abraham Lincoln

Slavery is now no where more patiently endured, than in countries once inhabited by the zealots of liberty

Samuel Johnson

Inductive reason, which alone makes man master of his environment, is an achievement and when once born it must be reinforced by inhibiting the growth of other modes of knowledge.

Muhammad Iqbal

The first presentation of my show was given in May, 1883, at Omaha, which I had then chosen as my home. From there we made our first summer tour, visiting practically every important city in the country.

Buffalo Bill

I've been on the cover of 'Time' magazine three times, not for my beauty but because what I was doing was newsworthy around the world. I've worked with teams all my life, but I've been nice and I've been kind.

Cheryl Tiegs

The consistent anarchist should be a socialist, but a socialist of a particular sort. He will not only oppose alienated and specialized labor and look forward to the appropriation of capital by the whole body of workers, but he will also insist that this appropriation be direct, not exercised by some elite force acting in the name of the proletariat. Some sort of council communism is the natural form of revolutionary socialism in an industrial society. It reflects the intuitive understanding that democracy is largely a sham when the industrial system is controlled by any form of autocratic elite, whether of owners, managers, and technocrats, a vanguard party, or a State bureaucracy.

Noam Chomsky

There is nothing safe about sex. There never will be.

Norman Mailer

If you see 10 troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that 9 will run into the ditch before they reach you.

Calvin Coolidge
