In the heat of the Russian summer a sleeping car is the most horrible instrument of martyrdom imaginable.

The duty of the fighter pilot is to patrol his area of the sky, and shoot down any enemy fighters in that area. Anything else is rubbish.

When one has shot down one's first, second or third opponent, then one begins to find out how the trick is done.

Success flourishes only in perseverance ceaseless, restless perseverance.

I have had an experience which might perhaps be described as being shot down. At the same time, I call shot down only when one falls down. Today I got into trouble but I escaped with a whole skin.

It is better that one's customers come to one's shop than to have to look for them abroad.

If I should come out of this war alive, I will have more luck than brains.
