Neil Armstrong
If you don't know who you are, a university is an expensive place to find out.
Neil Armstrong
Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.
Neil Armstrong
Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.
Neil Armstrong
There are two of them up here.
Neil Armstrong
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks but for the ledger of our daily work.
Neil Armstrong

Neil Armstrong
Pilots take no special joy in walking: pilots like flying.
Neil Armstrong
