Only a few people are interested in what you have to say, but that is all right. You don't have to tell the quality of a master by the size of his crowds.

Thousands of volumes have been written about aviation, but we do not automatically have thousands of true and special friends in their authors. That rare writer who comes alive on a page does it by giving of himself, by writing of meanings, and not just of fact or of things that have happened to him.

Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.
