If one took no chances, one would not fly at all. Safety lies in the judgment of the chances one takes.

We can so reconstruct society that it will be self-perpetuating instead of as now, self-exhaustive.

I decided that if I could fly for ten years before I was killed in a crash, it would be a worthwhile trade for an ordinary life time.

I saw a fleet of fishing boats...I flew down almost touching the craft and yelled at them, asking if I was on the right road to Ireland. They just stared. Maybe they didn't hear me. Maybe I didn't hear them. Or maybe they thought I was just a crazy fool.

Life's values originate in circumstances over which the individual has no control.

Air power is new to all our countries. It brings advantages to some and weakens others; it calls for readjustment everywhere.

From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.
