More quotes by Douglas Bader
We were all flying around up and down the coast near Dunkirk looking for enemy aircraft which seemed also to be milling around with no particular cohesion.
Douglas Bader
I think the greatest of all human virtues is loyalty. It embraces all the best of the human character: courage, faith, love and charity.

I then realized my analytics data was a bit odd. My keywords were no longer with me
Douglas Bader
Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.
Douglas Bader
