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.

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.

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.

If you want to grow old as a pilot, you've got to know when to push it, and when to back off.

To many people, free will is a license to rebel not against what is unjust or hard in life but against what is best for them and true.

The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.

I went back to the stage because it was my way of dealing with the success I had, my way of coping. It was a way of escaping the responsibilty of what was happening.

I'm a really rotten liar. Generally, if I've tried to pull off a lie, it hasn't worked out to my advantage.

Al Gore may think Medicare is at a crossroads, but his plan puts it on a highway to bankruptcy.

The enabling power of the Atonement strengthens us to do and be good and to serve beyond our own individual desire and natural capacity.

The idea that you can't be attractive and funny at the same time is something that I hate.

We must at times search our own souls and discover what we really are. Our real character, much as we would wish, cannot be hidden.

If you do not listen to your intuition, it will stop talking to you. Your intuition is like a sensitive friend. If you question it, censor it, judge it, it gets hurt and becomes silent.

People will go for anything they don't understand if it's got enough hype.
