“If it’s never our fault, we can’t take responsibility for it. If we can’t take responsibility for it, we’ll always be its victim.”

Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world the master calls a butterfly.

Learning is finding out what you already know.

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.

The simplest things are often the truest.

There’s a spirit in anything, I think, into which we weave our soul. Not many pilots talk about it, but they think about it in the quiet dark of a night flight.

To bring anything into your life, imagine that it’s already there.

Allow the world to live as it chooses, and allow yourself to live as you choose.

Here is the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you’re alive, it isn’t.

Rarely do members of the same family grow up under the same roof.

I’ve owned 41 airplanes. A few of them would talk with me. This little seaplane, though, we’ve had long conversations in flight.

Live never to be ashamed if anything you say or do is published around the world, even if what is said is not true.

A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.

You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past.

Just as musicians feel about scores and melodies, dancers about the steps and flow of music, so we’re one with the principle of flight, the magic of being aloft in the wind!

Not being known doesn’t stop the truth from being true.

Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.

If friends disappoint you over and over, that’s in large part your own fault.

Some people find fault like there is a reward for it.

Those who have committed no faults want no pardon. We are only defending what we deem our indisputable rights.

He who is faultless does not care for the opinion of others.

When you are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.

The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.

Men who do not forgive women their little faults will never enjoy their great virtues.
