Quotes by Orville Wright
The air is not a solid, but a fluid, and it can be controlled.
We made more than a thousand glides before we attempted a powered flight.
The greatest invention of all time is the human mind.
We never gave up, even when things looked bleak.
The airplane is a tool, and like any tool, it can be used for good or for evil.
We were not afraid of failure, but of not trying.
The sky is not the limit, it is just the beginning.
We built our own engine, because no one else could build one light enough.
The wind is our friend, if we know how to use it.
We were just ordinary people who did something extraordinary.
The airplane will revolutionize travel and commerce.
We learned more from our failures than from our successes.
The air is a highway, and we are the pioneers.
We were driven by a passion for flight.
The airplane is a symbol of human progress.
We never sought publicity, but it found us.
The most important thing is to keep learning and experimenting.
We were just trying to solve a problem, and we did.
The airplane is a testament to the power of human ingenuity.
We had no idea how much impact our invention would have on the world.
