I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland; he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person.

The future infrared space telescope will cover that area in a much more efficient manner.

The Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum.

Hubble is very close to my heart, and going back to Hubble, because I was there once already in 1993, is really a great privilege for me.

Then, much later, my next dream was to become an astronaut, and I was fortunate to realize that dream, also.

As far as the radio waves part of the spectrum, we can do these adequately from the ground because the atmosphere is basically transparent to our radio waves.

My first dream as a child was to become a pilot. My second dream was to become an astronomer, and I pursued in parallel efforts and studies in these two areas.

My name was on the list very early after these announcements were made through the newspapers in Europe.

Listen! If stars are litIt means there is someone who needs it, It means someone wants them to be, That someone deems those specks of spitMagnificent!

There are four seasons in a year: Winter, Spring, Summer and Colour!

No man has ever lived that had enough of children's gratitude or woman's love.

I think most serious writers, certainly in the modern period, use their own lives or the lives of people close to them or lives they have heard about as the raw material for their creativity.

If you seek violence, we will seek to put you in jail.

My friend, God wants to throw a beam of light on your path today.

Believe in yourself and what you feel. Your power will come from that.

The sooner you get something started the more likely you get to be successful, get started today!

A drunkard cannot plead his case.

I have high blood sugars, and Type 2 diabetes is not going to kill me. But I just have to eat right, and exercise, and lose weight, and watch what I eat, and I will be fine for the rest of my life.
