More from Charles Lindbergh
"The human spirit is indomitable. It can overcome any obstacle."
"The only time I feel alive is when I'm flying."
"Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds."
"The future of civilization depends on the survival of the white race."
"What kind of man would live where there is no danger? I don't believe in taking foolish chances. But nothing can be accomplished by not taking a chance at all."
About Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974)
American aviator who completed the first solo nonstop transatlantic flight (Spirit of St. Louis, May 1927) and later led the isolationist America First Committee against US entry into WWII. Closely associated with Amelia Earhart (aviation contemporary). For an intellectual contrast, see Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd US President — FDR's interventionist Lend-Lease policy and 1941 declaration of war ended Lindbergh's America First isolationism; FDR publicly questioned Lindbergh's loyalty in April 1941, leading Lindbergh to resign his Air Corps Reserve commission. The cleanest 'interventionist president vs celebrity-isolationist' pairing in 20th-century US politics.
