Famous quotes containing the words nasa and/or career:

    “If we did not have such a thing as an airplane today, we would probably create something the size of NASA to make one.”
    —H. Ross Perot (b. 1930)

    “Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
    —Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
