Circling the earth in the orbital spaceship I marvelled at the beauty of our planet. People of the world!! Let us safeguard and enhance this beauty-not destroy it

When I orbited the Earth in a spaceship, I saw for the first time how beautiful our planet is. Mankind, let us preserve and increase this beauty, and not destroy it!

Looking at the earth from afar you realize it is too small for conflict and just big enough for co-operation.

I see Earth! It is so beautiful.

To be the first to enter the cosmos, to engage, single-handed, in an unprecedented duel with nature-could one dream of anything more?

The Earth is blue... how wonderful. It is amazing

I could have gone on flying through space forever.

The path of a cosmonaut is not an easy, triumphant march to glory. You have to get to know the meaning not just of joy but also of grief, before being allowed in the spacecraft cabin.

If all those people are getting wet to welcome me, surely the least I can do is get wet too!

I am watching the Earth. The visibility is good. I feel well and cheerful. The machine is functioning normally.

I feel fine. How about you?

If you have been harboring anger or bitterness or jealousy in your heart toward someone—a parent, an ex-spouse, a boss—hand it over to Christ, and ask Him to help you let it go.

I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.

I truly love being an actor. I love it with all my heart and soul, and I hope that I get to do it for a very long time.

Truth never penetrates an unwilling mind.

I have a great deal of mind. It takes a long time to change it.

In great art there is no beginning and end in point of time. All time is comprehended.

I'm still a big kid - I make mistakes all time.
