More quotes by Charles Lindbergh

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 don't believe in taking foolish chances, but nothing can be accomplished if we don't take any chances at all.
Charles Lindbergh
We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction.
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
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
I don't believe in taking unnecessary risks, but a life without risk isn't worth living.

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
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
In a time of war, truth is always replaced by propaganda.
Charles Lindbergh
I live only in the moment in this strange unmortal space, crowded with beauty, pierced with danger.
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
But accuracy means something to me. It's vital to my sense of values. I've learned not to trust people who are inaccurate. Every aviator knows that if mechanics are inaccurate. aircraft crash.
Charles Lindbergh
I know there is infinity beyond ourselves. I wonder if there is infinity within.
Charles Lindbergh
Whatever a man imagines he can attain, if he doesn't become too arrogant and encroach on the rights of the gods.
Charles Lindbergh
I decided that if I could fly for ten years before I was killed in a crash, it would be a worthwhile trade for an ordinary life time.
Charles Lindbergh
I realized that the future of aviation, to which I had devoted so much of my life, depended less on the perfection of aircraft than on preserving the epoch-evolved environment of life, and that this was true of all technological progress.
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
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
Pilots are drawn to flying because it's a perfect combination of science, romance and adventure.
Charles Lindbergh
