• The experienced fighting pilot does not take unnecessary risks. His business in to shoot down enemy planes, not to get shot down. His trained hand and eye and judgment are as much a part of his armament as his machinegun, and a fiftyfifty chance is the worst he will take or should take except where the show is of the kind that . . . justifies the sacrifice of plane or pilot.

• Chime out, thou little song of Spring,
  Float in the blue skies ravishing.
  Thy song-of-life a joy doth bring
  That's sweet, albeit fleeting.
  Float on the Spring-winds e'en to my home:
  And when thou to a rose shalt come
  That hath begun to show her bloom,
  Say, I send her greeting!

• Cherry-ripe, ripe, ripe, I cry,
  Full and fair ones; come and buy.

  They do grow, I answer: There,
  Where my Julia's lips do smile;
  There's the land, or cherry-isle,
  Whose plantations fully show
  All the year where cherries grow.

• I hate a stupid man who can't talk to me, and I hate a clever man who talks me down. I don’t like a man who is too lazy to make any effort to shine; but I particularly dislike the man who is always striving for effect. I abominate a humble man, but yet I love to perceive that a man acknowledges the superiority of my sex, and youth and all that kind of thing. . . A man who would tell me that I am pretty, unless he is over seventy, ought to be kicked out of the room. But a man who can't show me that he thinks me so without saying a word about it, is a lout.

• I'd like to say that people... people can change anything they want to; and that means everything in the world. Show me any country and there'll be people in it.

It's time to take that humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time... Think on that. Without people you're nothing.
