That to me is a bunch of crap trying to shoot guys up into damned space. What they're going to do is they're going to wipe out half a dozen people one of these days, and that will be the end of it.

You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can't, you do the next best thing. You back up but you don't give up.

Just before you break through the sound barrier, the cockpit shakes the most.

You don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing.

Rules are made for people who aren't willing to make up their own.

The first time I ever saw a jet, I shot it down.

Unfortunately, many people do not consider fun an important item on their daily agenda. For me, that was always a high priority in whatever I was doing.

What good does it do to be afraid? It doesn't help anything. You better try and figure out what's happening and correct it.

The secret of my success is that I always managed to live to fly another day.

The best pilots fly more than the others; that's why they're the best.

I'm a completely worthless woman and no man should risk his life for me.

When we come to the light of God, all our sins shall be forgiven by faith in Jesus Christ.

As Christ bore and received us as sinners so we in his fellowship may bear and receive sinners into the fellowship of Christ through the forgiving of sins.

The conventional notions of art have changed, and a lot of things done today are considered works of art that would have been rejected in the past.

A beane in liberty is better then a comfit in prison.

Some have said there is no subtlety to destruction. You know what? They're dead.

Jesus is what God looks like in sandals

I went into designing my house thinking I could have some more expensive items because I didn't realize my kids were going to be animals.

There is no real appeal for me in an image of a woman on a motorcycle.

Sport was an obvious favourite of mine, and not only golf. I was, and still am, a big rugby fan.
