Charles A. Lindbergh
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.
“I realized that If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia. Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.”
“To a person in love, the value of the individual is intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission.”
“Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we penetrate the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes.”
“Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquest...”
Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
Is he alone who has courage on his right hand and faith on his left hand?
Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values... God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.
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.
