Aviation Is Proof That Given, The Will,

And I Have Yet To Find One Single Individual Who Has Attained Conspicuous Success In Bringing Down Enemy Aeroplanes Who Can Be Said To Be Spoiled Either By His Successes Or By The Generous Congratulations Of His Comrades. If He Were Capable Of Being Spoiled He Would Not Have Had The Character To Have Won Continuous Victories, For The Smallest Amount Of Vanity Is Fatal In Aeroplane Fighting. Self-distrust Rather Is The Quality To Which Many A Pilot Owes His Protracted Existence.

The Better I Shoot, The Less I Have To Maneuver.

The Experienced Fighting Pilot Does Not Take Unnecessary Risks. His Business Is To Shoot Down Enemy Planes, Not To Get Shot Down.

I Would Rather Have A Million Friends Than A Million Dollars.

Courage Is About Doing What You're Afraid To Do.
