Flight Quotes

Totally uneventful. It was a very successful first flight. To be honest, it was a little bit boring Picture Quote #1

To me there never has been a higher source of honour or distinction than that connected with advances in science. I have not possessed enough of the eagle in my character to make a direct flight to the loftiest altitudes in the social world; and I certainly never endeavored to reach those heights by using the creeping powers of the reptile, who in ascending, generally chooses the dirtiest path, because it is the easiest Picture Quote #1

Trouble shots are surprisingly easy if you activate your imagination. You simply must be able to imagine exactly what flight the ball will take before you can play any shot well Picture Quote #1

I never went into physics or the astronaut corps to become a role model. But after my first flight, it became clear to me that I was one. And I began to understand the importance of that to people. Young girls need to see role models in whatever careers they may choose, just so they can picture themselves doing those jobs someday. You can’t be what you can’t see Picture Quote #1

The physical symptoms of fight or flight are what the human body has learned over thousands of years to operate efficiently and at the highest level... anxiety is a cognitive interpretation of that physical response Picture Quote #1

Dreams are the sources of action, the meeting and the end, a resting place among the flight of things Picture Quote #1

The niftiest turn of phrase, the most elegant flight of rhetorical fancy, isn’t worth beans next to a clear thought clearly expressed Picture Quote #1

From their maneuvers and their terrific speed I am certain their flight performance was greater than any aircraft known today Picture Quote #1

The flight of most members of a profession to the high empyrean, where they can work peacefully on purely scientific problems, isolated from the turmoil of real life, was perhaps quite appropriate at an earlier stage of science; but in today’s world it is a luxury we cannot afford Picture Quote #1

The fates have a way of demanding of a man that he suffer his greatest moments all by himself; being lone seems as often attendant upon reality as being in company is attendant upon the flight from reality Picture Quote #1

I was shown a fledgling learning to fly. It’s first efforts were very feeble. But as it used its wings more and more, they became stronger until it found the freedom of flight and was able to soar to great heights and fly great distance without any effort. I heard the words: Faith comes with practice. Live by faith until it becomes rocklike unshakable, and find the true freedom of the spirit Picture Quote #1

I think, just the exhilaration of flying. The freedom of the air. The freedom of flight. And you completely remove yourself from the world. And you can voluntarily remove yourself from all those... everything that’s near and dear to you. And you voluntarily return Picture Quote #1

We returned home, after these experiments, with the conviction that sailing flight was not the exclusive prerogative of birds Picture Quote #1

If you have flown, perhaps you can understand the love a pilot develops for flight. It is much the same emotion a man feels for a woman, or a wife for her husband Picture Quote #1

Careful grooming may take twenty years off a woman’s age,but you can’t fool a flight of stairs Picture Quote #1

I consciously memorized the speed at which every pitcher in the league threw his fastball, curve, and slider; then, I’d pick up the speed of the ball in the first thirty feet of its flight and knew how it would move once it had crossed the plate Picture Quote #1

I was annoyed from the start by the attitude of doubt by the spectators that I would never really make the flight. This attitude made me more determined than ever to succeed Picture Quote #1

Trying to analyze a situation without enough data was like looking at a photograph of a ball in flight and trying to gauge its direction. Is it going up, down, sideways? Is it about to collide with a baseball bat? Is it moving at all, or is something on the blind side holding it in place? A single frame didn’t mean a thing. Patterns were based on data. With enough datapoints, you could predict just about anything Picture Quote #1

A lot of guys just got off the flight yesterday. There’s no excuses but that’s the reality Picture Quote #1

Their elegant shape, showy colors, and slow, sailing mode of flight, make them very attractive objects, and their numbers are so great that they form quite a feature in the physiognomy of the forest, compensating for the scarcity of flowers Picture Quote #1

One can get a proper insight into the practice of flying only by actual flying experiments... The manner in which we have to meet the irregularities of the wind, when soaring in the air, can only be learnt by being in the air itself... The only way which leads us to a quick development in human flight is a systematic and energetic practice in actual flying experiments Picture Quote #1

The pilot is still the pilot, whether he is at a remote console or on the flight deck. With the potential for thousands of these unmanned aircraft in use years from now, the standards for pilot training need to be set high to ensure that those on the ground and other users of the airspace are not put in jeopardy Picture Quote #1

And let’s get one thing straight. There’s a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician; the other is an artist in love with flight Picture Quote #1

Apollo was a big, unwieldy vehicle. I had a problem with the flight controllers over that. It would try to fare its way like an airplane Picture Quote #1

The muscles used to make a smile actually send a biochemical message to our nervous system that it is safe to relax the flight of freeze response Picture Quote #1

The power that makes grass grow, fruit ripen, and guides the bird in flight is in us all Picture Quote #1

The escalator seems to me to typify this: It leads us up, by climbing on our behalf. Yes, it doesn’t even climb, it flies. Each step carries its shopper aloft, as though afraid he might change his mind. It takes us up to merchandise we might not have bothered to climb an ordinary flight of steps for Picture Quote #1

Aerial flight is one of that class of problems with which man will never be able to cope... The example of the bird does not prove that man can fly. Imagine the proud possessor of the aeroplane darting through the air at a speed of several hundred feet per second. It is the speed alone that sustains him. How is he ever going to stop? Picture Quote #1

With the possible exception of having more pleasing lines to the eye while in flight, the monoplane possesses no material advantage over the biplane Picture Quote #1

We are coming into a new era of flight, an ear in which all past conception of time and distance is changing and changing at a very, very rapid rate Picture Quote #1
