Famous quotes containing the word mission:

    “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)

    “We never can tell how our lives may work to the account of the general good, and we are not wise enough to know if we have fulfilled our mission or not.”
    —Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
