More quotes by Charles Lindbergh
I know myself as mortal, but this raises the question: What is I? Am I an individual, or am I an evolving life stream composed of countless selves?
Charles Lindbergh
When I watch species other than my own, their instinct's wisdom is what most impresses and disturbs me.
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
We are all consumers and should all be producers.
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
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
I hope you either take up parachute jumping or stay out of single motored airplanes at night.
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
Aviation has struck a delicately balanced world, a world where stability was already giving way to the pressure of new dynamic forces, a world dominated by a mechanical, materialist, Western European civilization.
Charles Lindbergh
One boy's a boy, two boys are half a boy three boys are no boy at all.
Charles Lindbergh
[I] grew up as a disciple of science. I know its fascination. I have felt the godlike power man derives from his machines.
Charles Lindbergh
Decades spent in contact with science and its vehicles have directed my mind and senses to areas beyond their reach. I now see scientific accomplishments as a path, not an end a path leading to and disappearing in mystery.
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
Science intensifies religious truth by cleansing it of ignorance and superstition.
Charles Lindbergh
Man is a mixture of desires that extend beyond his knowledge and often result in action conflicting with rationality.
Charles Lindbergh
What kind of man would live a life without daring? Is life so sweet that we should criticize men that seek adventure? Is there a better way to die?
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
The greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government.
Charles Lindbergh
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.
Charles Lindbergh
