More quotes by Charles Lindbergh
Pilots are drawn to flying because it's a perfect combination of science, romance and adventure.
Charles Lindbergh
[I] grew up as a disciple of science. I know its fascination. I have felt the godlike power man derives from his machines.
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
We are all consumers and should all be producers.
Charles Lindbergh
I owned the world that hour as I rode over it. free of the earth, free of the mountains, free of the clouds, but how inseparably I was bound to them.
Charles Lindbergh
Flying has torn apart the relationship of space and time: it uses our old clock but with new yardsticks.
Charles Lindbergh
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.
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
Decades spent in contact with science and its vehicles have directed my mind and senses to areas beyond their reach. I now see scientific accomplishments as a path, not an end a path leading to and disappearing in mystery.
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
A great industrial nation may conquer the world in the span of a single life, but its Achilles' heel is time. Its children, what of them?
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
I don't believe in taking unnecessary risks, but a life without risk isn't worth living.
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
What freedom lies in flying, what Godlike power it gives to men . . . I lose all consciousness in this strong unmortal space crowded with beauty, pierced with danger.
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 live only in the moment in this strange unmortal space, crowded with beauty, pierced with danger.
Charles Lindbergh
From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.
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
Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.
Charles Lindbergh
