12 Neil Armstrong Quotes
This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.
The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.
Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that's when something snaps up and bites you.
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.
I fully expected that, by the end of the century, we would have achieved substantially more than we actually did.
I thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.
The one thing I regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel.
I can honestly say - and it's a big surprise to me - that I have never had a dream about being on the moon.
The Eagle has landed.

12 Delightful Ogden Nash Quotes
Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.
Happiness is having a scratch for every itch.
To keep your marriage brimming, With love in the loving cup, Whenever you're wrong, admit it; Whenever you're right, shut up.
Certainly there are things in life that money can't buy, but it's very funny - Did you ever try buying them without money?
A family is a unit composed not only of children but of men, women, an occasional animal, and the common cold.
I have an idea that the phrase 'weaker sex' was coined by some woman to disarm the man she was preparing to overwhelm.
Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.
I think remorse ought to stop biting the consciences that feed it.
Oh, what a tangled web do parents weave when they think that their children are naive.
The most exciting happiness is the happiness generated by forces beyond your control.
Commitments the voters don't know about can't hurt you.
Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them.
