July 20, 1969 was a day of destiny. On that day, the human race moved just a little farther in its evolution. Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin took that famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" and humans stood on the moon for the first time.

Today's rotating quotes:

"Be bold and mighty powers will come to your aid."
-- Basil King

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
-- George Bernard Shaw

"I shall tell you a great secret, my friend. Do not wait for the last judgment, it takes place every day."
-- Albert Camus
