Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
I don't believe in taking unnecessary risks, but a life without risk isn't worth living.
The Jews are one of the principle forces attempting to lead the U.S. into the war. The Jews greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our Government. I am saying that the LEADERS of the Jewish race wish to involve us in the war for reasons that are NOT AMERICAN.
A certain amount of danger is essential to the quality of life.
Life without risks is not worth living.
If one took no chances, one would not fly at all. Safety lies in the judgment of the chances one takes.
I don't believe in taking foolish chances, but nothing can be accomplished if we don't take any chances at all.
In a time of war, truth is always replaced by propaganda.
Unless science is controlled by a greater moral force, it will become the Antichrist prophesied by the early Christians.
Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life? Aviation combined all the elements I loved. There was science in each curve of an airfoil, in each angle between strut and wire, in the gap of a spark plug or the color of the exhaust flame. There was freedom in the unlimited horizon, on the open fields where one landed. A pilot was surrounded by beauty of earth and sky. He brushed treetops with the birds, leapt valleys and rivers, explored the cloud canyons he had gazed at as a child. Adventure lay in each puff of wind.
God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.
Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
Pilots are drawn to flying because it's a perfect combination of science, romance and adventure.
Ideas are like seeds, apparently insignificant when first held in the hand. Once firmly planted, they can grow and flower into almost anything at all, a cornstalk, or a giant redwood, or a flight across the ocean. Whatever a man imagines, he can achieve.
We can have peace and security only so long as we band together to preserve that most priceless possession, our inheritance of European blood, only so long as we guard ourselves against attack by foreign armies and dilution by foreign races.
From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.
Sometimes, flying feels too godlike to be attained by man. Sometimes, the world from above seems too beautiful, too wonderful, too distant for human eyes to see .
Instead of agitating for war, the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every possible way, for they will be among the first to feel its consequences. Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength. History shows that it cannot survive war and devastation. A few very far-sighted Jewish people realize this and stand opposed to intervention. But the majority still do not. Their greatest danger to this country lies in their ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government.
Life's values originate in circumstances over which the individual has no control.
Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.
The new law will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation. From now on depressions will be scientifically created.
Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.
I believe the risks I take are justified by the sheer love of the life I lead.
We must limit to a reasonable amount the Jewish influence...Whenever the Jewish percentage of total population becomes too high, a reaction seems to invariably occur. It is too bad because a few Jews of the right type are, I believe, an asset to any country.
We are all consumers and should all be producers.
