We Are All Consumers And Should All

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.

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.

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.

It Was That Quality That Led Me Into Aviation In The First Place — It Was A Love Of The Air And Sky And Flying, The Lure Of Adventure, The Appreciation Of Beauty. It Lay Beyond The Descriptive Words Of Man — Where Immortality Is Touched Through Danger, Where Life Meets Death On Equal Plane; Where Man Is More Than Man, And Existence Both Supreme And Valueless At The Same Instant.
