More quotes by Charles Lindbergh
Flying has torn apart the relationship of space and time: it uses our old clock but with new yardsticks.
Charles Lindbergh
This is earth again, the earth where I've lived and now will live once more ... I've been to eternity and back. I know how the dead would feel to live again.
Charles Lindbergh
How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life?
Charles Lindbergh
We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction.
Charles Lindbergh
Man is a mixture of desires that extend beyond his knowledge and often result in action conflicting with rationality.
Charles Lindbergh
Alone? Is he alone at whose right side rides Courage, with Skill within the cockpit and faith upon the left? Does solitude surround the brave when Adventure leads the way and Ambition reads the dials? Is there no company with him, for whom the air is cleft by Daring and the darkness made light by Emprise?
Charles Lindbergh
I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.
Charles Lindbergh
One boy's a boy, two boys are half a boy three boys are no boy at all.
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
At the end of the first half-century of engine-driven flight, we are confronted with the stark fact that the historical significance of aircraft has been primarily military and destructive.
Charles Lindbergh
Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.
Charles Lindbergh
I hope you either take up parachute jumping or stay out of single motored airplanes at night.
Charles Lindbergh
Why should anyone think a white skin superior in evaluating the qualities of human life? I did not really admire a white skin so much myself. Did I not prefer the brown skin that came with exposure to the sun?
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
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
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
Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we penetrate the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes.
Charles Lindbergh
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.
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
I know there is infinity beyond ourselves. I wonder if there is infinity within.
Charles Lindbergh
