More quotes by Charles Lindbergh
The greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government.
Charles Lindbergh
Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life?
Charles Lindbergh
I believe that for permanent survival, man must balance science with other qualities of life, qualities of body and spirit as well as those of mind - qualities he cannot develop when he lets mechanics and luxury insulate him too greatly from the earth to which he was born.
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
When I watch species other than my own, their instinct's wisdom is what most impresses and disturbs me.
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
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 have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.
Charles Lindbergh
Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
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 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
Whatever a man imagines he can attain, if he doesn't become too arrogant and encroach on the rights of the gods.
Charles Lindbergh
We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction.
Charles Lindbergh
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.
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
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
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
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
Without death there would be no awareness of life, and the recurring selection and renewal that has caused life's progress would be ended.
Charles Lindbergh
I hope you either take up parachute jumping or stay out of single motored airplanes at night.
