I am shocked at the attitude of our American troops. They have no respect for death, the courage of an enemy soldier, or many of the ordinary decencies of life.
~ Charles Lindbergh
Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.
In time of war, truth is always replaced by propaganda.
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.
I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.
Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength.
After my death, the molecules of my being will return to the earth and the sky. They came from the stars. I am of the stars.
Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.
We must learn from the sermons of Christ, the wisdom of Laotzu, the teachings of Buddha.
Flying a good airplane doesn't require near as much attention as a motor car.
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
To be absolutely alone for the first time in the cockpit of a plane hundreds of feet above the ground is an experience never to be forgotten.
Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.
