> *"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein."*

> *"We will go to the moon. We will go to the moon and do other things, NOT because they are easy but because they are HARD."*
