Talk of world peace is heard today only among the white peoples, and not among the much more numerous coloured races. This is a perilous state of affairs.

Strong and unspent races are not pacifistic. To adopt such a position is to abandon the future, for the pacifist ideal is a terminal condition that is contrary to the basic facts of existence. As long as man continues to evolve, there will be wars Picture Quote #1

The men flyers have given out the impression that aeroplaning is very perilous work, something that an ordinary mortal should not dream of attempting. But when I saw how easily the man flyers manipulated their machines I said I could fly Picture Quote #1
