Man Has Risen So Far Above All

Not Long Ago, When I Was A Student In College, Just Flying An Airplane Seemed A Dream. But That Dream Turned Into Reality.

The Improvement Of Our Way Of Life Is More Important Than The Spreading Of It. If We Make It Satisfactory Enough, It Will Spread Automatically. If We Do Not, No Strength Of Arms Can Permanently Oppose It.

Science, Freedom, Beauty, Adventure: What More Could You Ask Of Life?

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?

If We Can Combine Our Knowledge Of Science With The Wisdom Of Wildness, If We Can Nurture Civilization Through Roots In The Primitive, Man's Potentialities Appear To Be Unbounded, Through This Evolving Awareness, And His Awareness Of That Awareness, He Can Emerge With The Miraculous-to Which We Can Attach What Better Name Than 'god'? And In This Merging, As Long Sensed By Intuition But Still Only Vaguely Perceived By Rationality, Experience May Travel Without Need For Accompanying Life.
