Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life become more secure, more fraught with action, richer in experience and achievement.

I don't care what you cover the seats with as long as you cover them with assholes.

I pay those guys to fly, so let them fly. I'll be damned if I'll pay them to just sit there.

Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life become more secure, more fraught with action, richer in experience and achievement.

Let the moment come when nothing is left but life, and you will find that you do not hesitate over the fate of material possessions.

When I look up and see the sun shining on the patch of white clouds up in the blue, I begin to think how it would feel to be up somewhere above it winging swiftly through the clean air, watching the earth below.

And I have yet to find one single individual who has attained conspicuous success in bringing down enemy aeroplanes who can be said to be spoiled either by his successes or by the generous congratulations of his comrades. If he were capable of being spoiled he would not have had the character to have won continuous victories, for the smallest amount of vanity is fatal in aeroplane fighting. Self-distrust rather is the quality to which many a pilot owes his protracted existence.
