The Hercules' was a monumental undertaking. It is the largest aircraft ever built... I put the sweat of my life into this thing.

I'm not a paranoid deranged millionaire.

Do the impossible, because almost everyone has told me my ideas are merely fantasies.

I am determined to elect a president of our choosing this year and one who will be deeply indebted, and who will recognize his indebtedness. Since I am willing to go beyond all limitations on this, I think we should be able to select a candidate and a party who knows the facts of political life....If we select Nixon, then he, I know for sure knows the facts of life.

My father told me, never have partners.

Sometimes I truly fear that I am losing my mind. And if I did it it would be like flying blind.

We don't have a monopoly. Anyone who wants to dig a well without a Hughes bit can always use a pick and shovel.
