The improvement of our way of life is more important than the spreading of it. If we make it satisfactory enough, it will spread automatically. If we do not, no strength of arms can permanently oppose it.

More quotes by Charles Lindbergh
Our emphasis on science has resulted in an alarming rise in world populations, the demand and ever-increasing emphasis of science to improve their standards and maintain their vigor. I have been forced to the conclusion that an over-emphasis of science weakens character and upsets life's essential balance.
Charles Lindbergh
Science intensifies religious truth by cleansing it of ignorance and superstition.
Charles Lindbergh
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.
Charles Lindbergh
Without death there would be no awareness of life, and the recurring selection and renewal that has caused life's progress would be ended.
Charles Lindbergh
One boy's a boy, two boys are half a boy three boys are no boy at all.
Charles Lindbergh
I live only in the moment in this strange unmortal space, crowded with beauty, pierced with danger.
Charles Lindbergh
What makes human power erupt like a volcano? What destroy's it? The civilizations of Rome, Greece, Egypt, China were all eruptions from a human core.
Charles Lindbergh
I decided that if I could fly for ten years before I was killed in a crash, it would be a worthwhile trade for an ordinary life time.
Charles Lindbergh
The essence of life, I concluded, did not lie in the material. It penetrated, but was not bound to, the physical world of science.
Charles Lindbergh
Ideas are like seeds, apparently insignificant when first held in the hand. Once firmly planted, they can grow and flower into almost anything at all, a cornstalk, or a giant redwood, or a flight across the ocean. Whatever a man imagines, he can achieve.
Charles Lindbergh
The remedy for our social evils does not consist so much in changing the system of government as it does in increasing the general intelligence of the people so that they may learn how to govern.
Charles Lindbergh
I know there is infinity beyond ourselves. I wonder if there is infinity within.
Charles Lindbergh
I saw a fleet of fishing boats...I flew down almost touching the craft and yelled at them, asking if I was on the right road to Ireland. They just stared. Maybe they didn't hear me. Maybe I didn't hear them. Or maybe they thought I was just a crazy fool.
Charles Lindbergh
Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.
Charles Lindbergh
Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we penetrate the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes.
Charles Lindbergh
Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life?
Charles Lindbergh
I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.
Charles Lindbergh
I believe that for permanent survival, man must balance science with other qualities of life, qualities of body and spirit as well as those of mind - qualities he cannot develop when he lets mechanics and luxury insulate him too greatly from the earth to which he was born.
Charles Lindbergh
Man is a mixture of desires that extend beyond his knowledge and often result in action conflicting with rationality.
Charles Lindbergh
If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
Charles Lindbergh
