It's no good going on living in the ashes of a dead happiness.

You cannot argue stupidity, you just have to accept it patiently as one of those things.

Maybe we've been too silly to deserve a world like this.

Remember that the Clerget lands very fast, at over forty miles an hour, and with that great engine in the nose the tail was light. Watch it... Lovely.

If I have learned one thing in my 54 years, it is that it is very good for the character to engage in sports which put your life in danger from time to time. It breeds a saneness in dealing with day to day trivialities which probably cannot be got in any other way, and a habit of quick decisions.

There's no dignity, no decency, or health today for men that haven't got a job. All other things depend on work today.

To put your life in danger from time to time... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities.
