Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or statement:

    We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.
    Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)

    The new statement is always hated by the old, and, to those dwelling in the old, comes like an abyss of skepticism.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
