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; flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime.

An excellent weapon and luck had been on my side. To be successful, the best fighter pilot needs both.

The colossus of World War II seemed to be like a pyramid turned upside down, and for the moment the whole burden of the war rested on the few hundred German fighter pilots on the Channel coast.

Only in the spirit of attack, born in a brave heart, will bring success to any fighter aircraft, no matter how highly developed it may be.

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

It's unbelievable what one squadron of twelve aircraft did to tip the balance.

Never abandon the possibility of attack. Attack even from a position of inferiority, to disrupt the enemy's plans. This often results in improving one's own position.

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

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

When I was fired from my post as General of the Fighter Arm, I was to give proof that this jet was a superior fighter. And that's when we did it. I think we did it.

You cannot disregard people and hope to see God

By the grace of reality and the nature of life, man—every man—is an end in himself, he exists for his own sake, and the achievement of his own happiness is his highest moral purpose.

Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day!

It behooves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.

We will be ourselves and free, or die in the attempt. Harriet Tubman was not our great-grandmother for nothing.

We need a President that all Americans can respect, not a celebrity who uses words like freedom and liberty like they are a punchline in a reality show.

If you ever have to ask someone else's opinion on a trade, you shouldn't be in it.

Do not always live in your world; visit the worlds of others too!

Love’s easy. It kind of comes with the territory. But liking is another story.

Both Hindu, as well as Islamic fundamentalism, feed on the poverty of the masses.
