Charles Lindbergh Science Quotations

If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.

We are in the grip of a scientific materialism, caught in a vicious cycle where our security today seems to depend on regimentation and weapons which will ruin us tomorrow.

Our emphasis on science has resulted in an alarming rise in world populations, the demand and ever-increasing emphasis of science to improve their standards and maintain their vigor. I have been forced to the conclusion that an over-emphasis of science weakens character and upsets life's essential balance.

Unless science is controlled by a greater moral force, it will become the Antichrist prophesied by the early Christians.

But I have seen the science I worshipped and the aircraft I loved destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.
