More from Charles Lindbergh
"The future belongs to the strong races, and the white race is strong."
"I have been forced to the conclusion that we are losing character and quality, and that we are doing it so rapidly that the very foundations of our civilization are threatened."
"Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values... God made life simple. It is man who complicates it."
"I would rather have a fully developed mind than a fully developed body."
"The Jew is a race that has no civilization to point to, no aspiring religion, no great achievements in any realm."
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.
