husband adventure self
If we must lose wife or husband when we live to our highest right, we lose an unhappy marriage as well, and we gain ourselves. But if a marriage is born between two already self-discovered, what a lovely adventure begins, hurricanes and all.
marriage land two
Two things I do value a lot, intimacy and the capacity for joy, didn't seem to be on anyone else s list. I felt like the stranger in a strange land, and decided I'd better not marry the natives.
wish credit blame
How can we resent the life we've created for ourselves? Who's to blame, who's to credit, but us? Who can change it, any time we wish, but us?
airplane writing giving
Thousands of volumes have been written about aviation, but we do not automatically have thousands of true and special friends in their authors. That rare writer who comes alive on a page does it by giving of himself, by writing of meanings, and not just of fact or of things that have happened to him. The writers of flight who have done this are usually found together in a special section on private bookshelves.
responsibility choices way
The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, 'I've got responsibilities.
knowledge strange asks
Isn't it strange how much we know if only we ask ourselves instead of somebody else.
truth being-true known
Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true.
time perfect heaven
Heaven isnot a place, and it isnot atime.Heaven isbeing perfect.
birthday giving want
Thanks to you, I always am so happy. Now I want to give you all the happiness on your birthday.
art airplane machines
The highest art form of all is a human being in control of himself and his airplane in flight, urging the spirit of a machine to match his own.
crazy world
The world's crazy, when it comes to beauty.
adventure flying lovely
It had never gotten old for him, flying. Never gone boring. Every engine start was a new adventure, guiding the spirit of a lovely machine back into life; every takeoff blending his spirit with its own to do what's never been done in history, to lift away from the ground and fly.
simple flying rooms
Why fly? Simple. I'm not happy unless there's some room between me and the ground.
crazy remember-where-you-came laughing
Remember where you came from, where you’re going, and why you created the mess you got yourself into in the first place. You're going to die a horrible death, remember. It's all good training, and you'll enjoy it more if you keep the facts in mind. Take your dying with some seriousness, however. Laughing on the way to your execution is not generally understood by less-advanced life-forms, and they'll call you crazy.
