I want to be remembered for only one thing: my contribution to aviation.

I intend to be the greatest golfer in the world, the finest film producer in Hollywood, the greatest pilot in the world, and the richest man in the world.

Wash four distinct and separate times, using lots of lather each time from individual bars of soap.

If I have made a mistake in the design, then I'm the one who should pay for it. I certainly would not ask somebody else to fly a plane if I were afraid to do it myself.

I wanted to see New York . . . so I tried to see how fast I could do it in.

My father told me, never have partners.

I am by nature a perfectionist, and I seem to have trouble allowing anything to go through in a half-perfect condition. So if I made any mistake it was in working too hard and in doing too much of it with my own hands.
