Charles Lindbergh
A certain amount of danger is essential to the quality of life.
Charles Lindbergh
Individuals are custodians of the life stream -- temporal manifestations of far greater being, forming from and returning to their essence like so many dreams.
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

Charles Lindbergh
Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
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
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
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
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
Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.
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
