“Superior technical achievements – used correctly both strategically and tactically”

Can beat any quantity numerically many times stronger yet technically inferior.

Flying is more than a sport and more than a job

Many to whom the first victory over the opponent has been long denied either by unfortunate circumstances

Tie him to a narrow and confined task, rob him of his initiative, and you take away from him the best and most valuable qualities he posses

It is true to say that the first kill can influence the whole future career of a fighter pilot.

The colossus of World War II seemed to be like a pyramid turned upside down

I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May ‘43.

No engine vibrations. No torque and no lashing sound of the propeller.

We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft, but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters

The fighter can only be used as a bomb carrier with lasting effect when sufficient air superiority has been won.

This often results in improving one’s own position.

The battle is tough but if you reach where you want to go, then at least in some sense it is worth it.

At this time, the aircraft was completely secret.

Today it is even more important to dominate the . . . highly sophisticated weapon systems

Like the hunter who stalks his prey and maneuvers himself unnoticed into the most favourable position for the kill

Will bring success to any fighter aircraft, no matter how highly developed it may be.

Live both in the future and the past. Who does not live in the past does not live in the future.

What we call the highest and the lowest in nature are both equally perfect. A willow bush is as beautiful as the human form divine.

When we grasp that we are unworthy sinners saved by an infinitely costly grace, it destroys both our self-righteousn ess and our need to ridicule others.

It’s the people who love us or hate us – or both – who hold together the thousands of fragments we are made of.

I was an artist, I was executive producer on my first album, so I’ve always had to manage both. I couldn’t get a record deal. It wasn’t by choice – I couldn’t get a record deal, so I had to figure it out.

Consider in silence whatever any one says: speech both conceals and reveals the inner soul of man.

There are infinite reveries, numberless extravagances, and a perpetual train of vanities which pass through both.

A wise person does at once, what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times.
