Aggressive fighting for the right is the noblest sport the world affords.

Theodore Roosevelt

The sense of this word among the Greeks affords the noblest definition of it; enthusiasm signifies God in us.

Madame de Stael

The sense of this word among the Greeks affords the noblest definition of it; enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'

Madame de Stael

Sight is by much the noblest of the senses. We receive our notices from the other four, through the organs of sensation only. We hear, we feel, we smell, we taste, by touch. But sight rises infinitely higher. It is refined above matter, and equals the faculty of spirit.

Laurence Sterne

Sight is the noblest sense of man.

Albrecht Durer

I like the planets because they are real places that you can go to and send machines to. Faraway astronomy - galactic astronomy and extra-galactic astronomy - is really cool stuff, but to me, it's about destinations.

Alan Stern

At the age of three I began to look around my grandfather's library. My first knowledge of astronomy came from reading and looking at pictures at that time. By the time I was six I remember him buying books for me. ... I think I was eight, he bought me a three-inch telescope on a brass mounting. ... So, as far back as I can remember, I had an early interest in science in general, astronomy in particular.

Jesse L. Greenstein

The most beautiful sight this earth affords is a man or woman so filled with love that duty is only a name, and its performance the natural outflow and expression of the love which has become the central principle of their life.

J. G. Holland

To me, the coaching profession is one of the noblest and most far-reaching in building manhood.

Amos Alonzo Stagg

One lesson astronomy tells us is that we're a tiny mote in a hostile void, and help is too far away.

Sandra Faber

Most man only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I love to revel in philosophical matters-especially astronomy. I study astronomy more than any other foolishness there is. I am a perfect slave to it. I am at it all the time. I have got more smoked glass than clothes. I am as familiar with the stars as the comets are. I know all the facts and figures and have all the knowledge there is concerning them. I yelp astronomy like a sun-dog, and paw the constellations like Ursa Major.

Mark Twain

Prizefighting ain't the noblest of arts and I ain't the noblest artist

Harry Greb

The lessons of science should be experimental also. The sight of a planet through a telescope is worth all the course on astronomy; the shock of the electric spark in the elbow outvalues all theories; the taste of the nitrous oxide, the firing of an artificial volcano, are better than volumes of chemistry.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lovely sweetness is the noblest power of woman, and is far fitter to prevail by parley than by battle.

Philip Sidney

I do not remember exactly when I became interested in astronomy, but I know it was at a very young age. I did organize an astronomy club for my friends at the age of 11. We would meet once a week to learn about the constellations.
