Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.

I'm not a celebrity or near celebrity. Sometimes people will say, "You're famous" and that stops me right there. What does fame mean? Fame is in the eye of the beholder. So, if somebody wants to call me 'famous', that's their business. I'm just me, a guy who messes around with airplanes and writes books that make sense to him.

If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.

Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.

Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.

The only thing that's real in any universe [is] that brilliant fire of Love that burns to the exclusion of everything else. As we recognize the presence of Love, we break through the wall of grief that would try to convince us that the dear soul with whom we have learned and loved so much no longer exists, or that she or he cannot speak with us. There is no wall that Love cannot vaporize. We may believe in death, Love doesn't.

Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!
