No greater glory can be handed down than to conquer the barbarian, to recall the savage and the pagan to civility, to draw the ignorant within the orbit of reason, and to fill with reverence for divinity the godless and the ungodly.
Richard Hakluyt
Image
Looking down at the Earth, you started to pick up a sense of speed much more than I had noticed on orbit.
Robert Crippen
Image
Your goal, as a creative investor, is to launch your ship into financial orbit ... and then put it on automatic pilot.
Robert G. Allen
Image
Why must women stay quietly? Why must we be little moons, each of us stuck in our little orbit, revolving around a planet that is some man? Why can't we be other planets? Why must we be moons?
Loretta Chase

I drank that Wine of which the Soul is its vessel. Its ecstasy has stolen my intellect away. A Light came and kindled a Flame in the depth of my Soul. A Light so radiant that the sun orbits around it like a butterfly.
Rumi
Image
Dear Iranian nation, your children have placed the first indigenous satellite into orbit.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Image
Of the bodies in the cosmos, some imitate mind and move in orbits some imitate soul and move in a straight line, fire and air upward, earth and water downward.
Sallust
Image
I love the necessary ambiguity of short stories - there simply isn't time to render every detail, so much of the story that orbits the literal prose must happen in the reader's imagination. Who knows, maybe the dwindling attention spans means a lucrative future for short story writers.
Matthew Healy
Image
Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.
Sally Ride
Image
Human relations just are not fixed in their orbits like the planets -- they're more like galaxies, changing all the time, exploding into light for years, then dying away.
May Sarton
Image
Poetry is language in orbit.
Seamus Heaney
Image
I think a colony in space will take much longer than sci fiction writers think. It costs $10,000 to put a pound of anything into near earth orbit. That is your weight in gold. It costs about $100,000 a pound to put you on the moon. And it costs $1,000,000 a pound to put you on Mars.
Michio Kaku
Image
Though we feel we can choose what we do, our understanding of the molecular basis of biology shows that biological processes are governed by the laws of physics and chemistry and therefore are as determined as the orbits of the planets.
Stephen Hawking
Image
When NASA says they're going into space, they don't mean up and back. They mean orbit.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Image
Thr principle of organization is built into nature. Chaos itself is self-organizing. Out of primordial disorder, stars find their orbit rivers make their way to the sea.
Steven Pressfield
Image
Eventually, the Sun will swell to occupy the entire sky as its expansion subsumes the orbit of earth. Earth's surface temperature will rise until it matches the 3,000-degree rarified outer layers of the expanded Sun.... But not to worry. We will surely go extinct for some other reason long before this scenario unfolds.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Image
The moon is not kept in her orbit round the earth, nor the earth in her orbit round the sun, by a force that varies merely in the inverse ratio of the squares of the distances.
Thomas Malthus
Image
The final mystery is oneself... Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul.
Oscar Wilde
Image
There is something eccentric in the orbit of Mars.
Tycho Brahe
Image
What an awful thing then, being there in our house together with our daughter gone, trying to be equal to so many sudden orders of sorrow, any one of which alone would have wrenched us from our fragile orbits around each other.
Paul Harding
Image
If the Earth is the size of a pea in New York, then the Sun is a beachball 50m away, Pluto is 4km away, and the next nearest star is in Tokyo. Now shrink Pluto's orbit into a coffee cup then our Milky Way Galaxy fills North America.
Wayne Hays
Image
I simply haven't the nerve to imagine a being, a force, a cause which keeps the planets revolving in their orbits and then suddenly stops in order to give me a bicycle with three speeds.
Quentin Crisp
Image
Then if your movie clicks with real audiences, you'll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It's a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office.
Yahoo Serious
Image
Science corrects the old creeds, sweeps away, with every new perception, our infantile catechisms, and necessitates a faith commensurate with the grander orbits and universal laws which it discloses yet it does not surprise the moral sentiment that was older and awaited expectant these larger insights.
