Charles Lindbergh Lying Quotations

Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.

What freedom lies in flying, what Godlike power it gives to men . . . I lose all consciousness in this strong unmortal space crowded with beauty, pierced with danger.

Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength. History shows that it cannot survive war and devastation. A few very far-sighted Jewish people realize this and stand opposed to intervention. But the majority still do not. Their greatest danger to this country lies in their ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government.

The greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio and our government.
