“Perhaps even more important than being a good pilot; to make the best use of this system.”

Superior technical achievements – used correctly both strategically and tactically

Never abandon the possibility of attack.

“He who wants to protect everything, protects nothing,” is one of the fundamental rules of defense.

During the Battle of Britain the question “fighter or fighter-bomber?” had been decided once and for all

I had to inspect all fighter units in Russia, Africa, Sicily, France, and Norway. I had to be everywhere.

When I was fired from my post as General of the Fighter Arm

An excellent weapon and luck had been on my side.

Later when asked what it felt like, I said, “It felt as though angels were pushing”.

If we could have had in ’44, ah, let’s say three hundred operational

And that’s when we did it. I think we did it.

Only in the spirit of attack, born in a brave heart,

Attack even from a position of inferiority, to disrupt the enemy’s plans.

If we would have had the 262 at our disposal – even with all the delays

As interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

As a fighter pilot I know from my own experiences how decisive surprise and luck can be for success

The fighter in the opening of a dogfight must detect the opponent as early as possible in order to attain a superior position for the attack.

When the days are too short, chances are you are living at your best.

Never settle for anything less than your best.

All I know is I’ve tried my best.

Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people. But it takes time and patience.

Your mind can be your best friend or your worst enemy, but it’s your choice to make.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the best actor because his choice of roles are so diametrically opposite from each other, and he pulls it off almost every time so convincingly.

Don’t be afraid of your worst times. If you learn from them, you’ll look back on them as the best times.

There’s a lot of great movies that have won the Academy Award, and a lot of great movies that haven’t. You just do the best you can.
