The present blitz about drugs - I think it looks very much like how we treated insane people 100 years ago -- throw them in the cage - as if that's the whole answer. And it's not the whole answer.

The strength of a civilization is not measured by its ability to fight wars, but rather by its ability to prevent them.

We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing all-powerful God, who creates faulty Humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes.

In the 24th century there will be no hunger, there will be no greed, and all the children will know how to read.

It is the struggle itself that is most important. We must strive to be more than we are. It does not matter that we will not reach our ultimate goal. The effort itself yields its own reward.

To be different is not necessarily to be ugly; to have a different idea is not necessarily to be wrong. The worst possible thing is for all of us to begin to look and talk and act and think alike.

It isn't all over; everything has not been invented; the human adventure is just beginning.

Star Trek says that it has not all happened, it has not all been discovered, that tomorrow can be as challenging and adventurous as any time man has ever lived.

For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.

The human race is a remarkable creature, one with great potential, and I hope that 'Star Trek' has helped to show us what we can be if we believe in ourselves and our abilities.

We are on a journey to keep an appointment with whatever we are.

By the end of the war, I could pick out Jewish people almost as if I had a sixth sense about it, even if they had blue eyes and blond hair. I would have been a very valuable Gestapo person.

Our service as believers is not complete without fellowship with people

A woman might save him from a heart attack, but she'll kill him in every other way.

Truth is like beauty

Since I have introduced this term I had always a bad conscience. . . . I cannot help to feel it strongly and I am unable to believe that such an ugly thing should be realized in nature.

Courage is essential to leadership.

Fortunately for me, I did not take any science classes in college.

I always liked to chase the girls. Parkinson's stops all that. Now I might have a chance to go to heaven.

Me and my cheeseburgers are insane.

Having the opportunity to fly the first flight of something like a space shuttle was the ultimate test flight.
