Why should anyone think a white skin superior in evaluating the qualities of human life? I did not really admire a white skin so much myself. Did I not prefer the brown skin that came with exposure to the sun?
[I] grew up as a disciple of science. I know its fascination. I have felt the godlike power man derives from his machines.
The Jews are one of the principle forces attempting to lead the U.S. into the war. The Jews greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our Government. I am saying that the LEADERS of the Jewish race wish to involve us in the war for reasons that are NOT AMERICAN.
We must limit to a reasonable amount the Jewish influence...Whenever the Jewish percentage of total population becomes too high, a reaction seems to invariably occur. It is too bad because a few Jews of the right type are, I believe, an asset to any country.
I would rather live one day in Maui than one month in New York.
I realized that the future of aviation, to which I had devoted so much of my life, depended less on the perfection of aircraft than on preserving the epoch-evolved environment of life, and that this was true of all technological progress.
The new law will create inflation whenever the trusts want inflation. From now on depressions will be scientifically created.
We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other peoples to lead our country to destruction,
Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life?
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.
What kind of man would live a life without daring? Is life so sweet that we<br />should criticize men that seek adventure? Is there a better way to die?
I owned the world that hour as I rode over it. free of the earth, free of the mountains, free of the clouds, but how inseparably I was bound to them.
I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.
If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.
It is the greatest shot of adrenaline to be doing what you have wanted to do so badly. You almost feel like you could fly without the plane.
To a person in love, the value of the individual is intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission.
Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values... God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.
Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.
We are disturbed about the effect of the Jewish influence on our press, radio, and motion pictures. It may become very serious. (Fulton) Lewis told us of one instance where the Jewish advertising firms threatened to remove all their advertising from the Mutual System if a certain feature was permitted to go on the air. The threat was powerful enough to have the feature removed.
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.
A radical is one who speaks the truth.
How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and of oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life?
Life [is] a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity.
Life a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of the future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.
Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.
