More quotes by Charles Lindbergh
Sometimes, flying feels too godlike to be attained by man. Sometimes, the world from above seems too beautiful, too wonderful, too distant for human eyes to see .
Charles Lindbergh
If we can combine our knowledge of science with the wisdom of wildness, if we can nurture civilization through roots in the primitive, man's potentialities appear to be unbounded.
Charles Lindbergh
We can so reconstruct society that it will be self-perpetuating instead of as now, self-exhaustive.
Charles Lindbergh
Man is a mixture of desires that extend beyond his knowledge and often result in action conflicting with rationality.
Charles Lindbergh
I don't believe in taking unnecessary risks, but a life without risk isn't worth living.
Charles Lindbergh
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life.
Charles Lindbergh
We are all consumers and should all be producers.
Charles Lindbergh
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
Charles Lindbergh
Is cruelty a moral judgment if it is fundamental to forms of life? Who is man to say that the workings of nature, and therefore of the divine plan of which he himself is part, are cruel?
Charles Lindbergh
I realized that the future of aviation, to which I had devoted so much of my life, depended less on the perfection of aircraft than on preserving the epoch-evolved environment of life, and that this was true of all technological progress.
Charles Lindbergh
Now, all that I feared would happen has happened. We are at war all over the world, and we are unprepared for it from either a spiritual or a material standpoint.
Charles Lindbergh
I don't believe in taking foolish chances, but nothing can be accomplished if we don't take any chances at all.
Charles Lindbergh
One boy's a boy, two boys are half a boy three boys are no boy at all.
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
Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
Charles Lindbergh
If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
Charles Lindbergh
The readiness to blame a dead pilot for an accident is nauseating, but it has been the tendency ever since I can remember. What pilot has not been in positions where he was in danger and where perfect judgment would have advised against going?
Charles Lindbergh
Pilots are drawn to flying because it's a perfect combination of science, romance and adventure.
Charles Lindbergh
We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction.
Charles Lindbergh
My father had been opposed to my flying from the first and had never flown himself. However, he had agreed to go up with me at the first opportunity, and one afternoon he climbed into the cockpit and we flew over the Redwood Falls together. From that day on I never heard a word against my flying and he never missed a chance to ride in the plane.
