Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.

Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.

This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

We had hundreds of thousands of people all dedicated to doing the perfect job, and I think they did about as well as anyone could ever have expected.

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 was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.

I fully expected that, by the end of the century, we would have achieved substantially more than we actually did.

The one thing I regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel.

Yeah, I wasn't chosen to be first. I was just chosen to command that flight. Circumstance put me in that particular role. That wasn't planned by anyone.

The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.

As a boy, because I was born and raised in Ohio, about 60 miles north of Dayton, the legends of the Wrights have been in my memories as long as I can remember.

I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine.

Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.

If that's there, I believe that technology will probably step up to their part of it.

Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed.

Pilots take no special joy in walking. Pilots like flying.

In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.

Gliders, sail planes, they're wonderful flying machines. It's the closest you can come to being a bird.

It's a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It's an interesting place to be. I recommend it.

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.

Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.

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 guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.

The Eagle has landed.

I put up my thumb and it blotted out the planet Earth.

I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer.

People love conspiracy theories.

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

In flying, the probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of arrival.

NASA has been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve. It's sad that we are turning the programme in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation and stimulation it provides to young people.

There can be no great accomplishment without risk.

The view of the moon that we've been having recently is really spectacular. It fills about three-quarters of the hatch window, and of course we can see the entire circumference even though part of it is in complete shadow and part of it is in earthshine. It's a view worth the price of the trip.

Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I want to promote poetry to the point where you got all the baldhead kids running around doing poetry, getting the music out of the way and having only words, the spoken word, and then see what happens.

No one will burn out doing aerobic running. It is too much anaerobic running, which the American scholastic athletic system tends to put young athletes through, that burns them out.

Oddly enough, MS has made my life so much better than it was before. I now appreciate what I have and I am not running around like a rat in a maze.

I keep fit by running after my three boys all day.

Romance, like the rabbit at the dog track, is the elusive, fake, and never attained reward which, for the benefit and amusement of our masters, keeps us running and thinking in safe circles.

And when Roger talks about the frightened ones running away from the bombs, I immediately thought of my days when I was young and I had to wear these gas masks.

What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it.

We did a different show every night. We'd open a show, and then two weeks later we'd open the next show. And two weeks later we'd open the third show until we had all eight running. And it was just one of the richest experiences I'd ever had in my theatrical life.
