The Wright Brothers

We did not give up, because we believed in ourselves.

The secret of success is to be always learning.

We were not afraid to fail, because we knew that failure was a step to success.

The air is not a solid, but a fluid. It must be treated as such.

We had to make our own instruments, because there were none to be had.

The problem of flight is not a problem of power, but of skill.

We were not trying to make a machine that would fly, but a machine that would be controlled by the will of the operator.

We were not discouraged by the failures, but encouraged by the progress.

The air is a friend to the skillful pilot, but an enemy to the unskilled.

We had to learn to think in three dimensions.

The machine is but an extension of the man.

We were not seeking fame, but knowledge.

The problem of flight is not a problem of invention, but of discovery.

We had to learn to read the air, as a sailor reads the sea.

The air is a medium, not a barrier.

We were not trying to conquer the air, but to understand it.

The machine is a tool, and the man is the master.

We had to learn to dance with the wind.

The air is a canvas, and the machine is a brush.

We were not just building a machine, but a dream.
