Space is very unforgiving business

One day, people will be able to buy tickets to visit space.

I'm Chinese-American, of course, and so it's very interesting to see China actually launch their own astronauts, becoming the third nation, following the United States and Russia, to do so.

I think it's good to have competition. Now we have a third country that can launch astronauts, so it's good for all of us. It makes us a little bit more competitive and wanting to be the leader.

I hope that China will continue with space exploration. It would be logical to have international co-operation. I hope that it will come about and that I can be involved in it.

As commander I was responsible for the overall success of the mission, and so I had to know at least a little bit about everything.

Tinkering is something we need to know how to do in order to keep something like the space station running. I am a tinkerer by nature.

People may not be impressed by our theological grasp, but they may be impressed by our expressions of practical godliness.

When we hate a person, with an intimate, imaginative, human hatred, we enter into his mind, or sympathize -- any strong interest will arouse the imagination and create some sort of sympathy.

Boxing is going to have to catch up with the kind of things UFC is doing. They're getting left behind.

It's time to restore the bonds of trust between citizens. Let us give thanks for all that we have and let us boldly face the exciting new frontiers that lie ahead.

The creative mind is the playful mind. Philosophy is the play and dance of ideas.

Microfinance is an incredibly powerful tool ... but we must move beyond micro-hopes and micro-ambitions for women.

I think it's necessary to let kids get bored once in a while-that's house they learn to be creative.

Let us make hay while the sun shines.
