The Wright Brothers

The airplane is a dream that came true.

We did not invent the airplane. We just showed the world how to fly.

The airplane is a symbol of the future.

We were not trying to be famous. We were trying to change the world.

The airplane is a testament to the power of perseverance.

We did not build the airplane for ourselves. We built it for everyone.

The airplane is a symbol of human achievement.

We were not trying to be the first. We were trying to be the best.

The airplane is a dream that took flight.

We did not invent the airplane. We just gave it wings.

No, I don't have any regrets. I just have a lot of things I want to do.

It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, who is poor.

The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously at the birds soaring freely through space, at speeds unknown to man, and wished they could do the same.

We could not have succeeded if we had not had the most implicit faith in the results of our experiments.

The greatest value of our work has been in the inspiration it has given to others.

It is not necessary to be a giant to do great things.

The world is full of people who are always waiting for someone else to do something.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

I confess that in 1901 I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for 50 years. Ever since, I have distrusted myself and have been inclined to pay more attention to what my brother thinks than to what I think.

The course of human history is determined not by what we know, but by what we do.
