More quotes by 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
Science intensifies religious truth by cleansing it of ignorance and superstition.
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
I know there is infinity beyond ourselves. I wonder if there is infinity within.

Charles Lindbergh
To be a true Progressive it is not sufficient to stand up and say that one belives in what has been promulgated as progressive principles. One must be progressive in heart and active in promoting the progressive principles of today, tomorrow and always. There is no resting point, for humanity is ever ascending to a higher and better goal.
Charles Lindbergh
One boy's a boy, two boys are half a boy three boys are no boy at all.
Charles Lindbergh
The remedy for our social evils does not consist so much in changing the system of government as it does in increasing the general intelligence of the people so that they may learn how to govern.
Charles Lindbergh
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.
Charles Lindbergh
In a time of war, truth is always replaced by propaganda.
Charles Lindbergh
A certain amount of danger is essential to the quality of life.
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 don't believe in taking unnecessary risks, but a life without risk isn't worth living.
Charles Lindbergh
The Jews are one of the principle forces attempting to lead the U.S. into the war. The Jews greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our Government. I am saying that the LEADERS of the Jewish race wish to involve us in the war for reasons that are NOT AMERICAN.
Charles Lindbergh
We are all consumers and should all be producers.

If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
