More quotes by 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?

Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
Charles Lindbergh

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
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
Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we penetrate the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes.
Charles Lindbergh
A certain amount of danger is essential to the quality of life.
Charles Lindbergh
Flying has torn apart the relationship of space and time: it uses our old clock but with new yardsticks.
Charles Lindbergh
One boy's a boy, two boys are half a boy three boys are no boy at all.
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
Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life?
Charles Lindbergh
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.
Charles Lindbergh
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.
Charles Lindbergh
Science intensifies religious truth by cleansing it of ignorance and superstition.
