I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.

Image
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.

I don't believe in taking foolish chances, but nothing can be accomplished if we don't take any chances at all.

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.

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
Image
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?

Flying has torn apart the relationship of space and time: it uses our old clock but with new yardsticks.

The greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government.

Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life?

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
Image
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.

We must limit to a reasonable amount the Jewish influence...Whenever the Jewish percentage of total population becomes too high, a reaction seems to invariably occur. It is too bad because a few Jews of the right type are, I believe, an asset to any country.

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.
