"There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation many never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain? Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texa...s? We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

"Harmonics are the cancer of the electrical system."
"Man has to awaken to wonder - and so perhaps do peoples. Science is a way of sending him to sleep again."
"It stands to the everlasting credit of science that by acting on the human mind it has overcome man's insecurity before himself and before nature."
"I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."

"Each race (or variety) is characterized by a more or less distinct combination of inherited morphological, behavioral, physiological traits."
"I then moved to the University of Western Ontario where I was made a full professor in 1985."
"The biological factors underlying race differences in sports have consequences for educational achievement, crime and sexual behavior."
"Those objecting to the concept of race argue that the taxonomic definitions are arbitrary and subjective."
"Startling, and alarming to many, is the conclusion that follows from these data that if all people were treated the same, most average race differences would not disappear."
