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 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.

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.

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

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.
