Courage Is About Doing What You're Afraid

The Experienced Fighting Pilot Does Not Take Unnecessary Risks. His Business Is To Shoot Down Enemy Planes, Not To Get Shot Down.

The Better I Shoot, The Less I Have To Maneuver.

I Believe That If You Think About Disaster, You Will Get It. Brood About Death And You Will Hasten Your Demise. Think Positively And Masterfully With Confidence And Faith, And Life Becomes More Secure, More Fraught With Action, Richer In Achievement And Experience. This Is The Sure Way To Win Victories Over Inner Defeat. It Is The Way A Humble Person Meets Life Or Death.

The Biggest Lesson I've Learned . . . Was That If You Have All The Fresh Water You Want To Drink And All The Food You Want To Eat, You Ought Never To Complain About Anything.

The Smallest Amount Of Vanity Is Fatal In Aeroplane Fighting. Selfdistrust Rather Is The Quality To Which Many A Pilot Owes His Protracted Existence.
