For once you have tasted flight, you should forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been, and there you long to return.

I thought it was 'and there you WISH to return'.

Not according to every reference I can find on the internet and books.

Also

'We once discussed which were the cleanest troops in the trenches, taken by nationalities. We agreed on a descending-order like this: English and German Protestants; Northern Irish, Welsh and Canadians; Irish and German Catholics; Scots; Mohammedan Indians; Algerians; Portugese; Belgians; French. We put the Belgians and French there for spite; they could not have been dirtier than the Algerians and the Portugese'

-Robert Graves, in 'Good-bye to all that'

A soldier (who had just returned from the Western Front) was so disordered while he was going down the stairs into the London tube station, he became suddenly aware of the crowds of people coming up, he looked haggardly about, and evidently mistaking the hollow space below for the trenches and the ascending crowd for Germans, fixed his bayonet and charged. But for the women constable on duty at the turn of the staircase, who was quick enough to divine his trouble and hang on to him with all her strength to prevent his forward advance, he would have wounded many and caused danger and panic.

-British pioneer policewoman Mary Allen, in her autobiography

'Aeronautics was nether an industry nor a science. It was a miracle'

-Igor Sikorsky

'Ah, it is a Sopwith Camel. I always get confused between the sound of a Sopwith Camel, and the sound of a malodorous runt wasting everybody\'s time. '

- Captain Blackadder.

'Caution: Caoe does not enable user to fly.'

Batman Costume Warning Label. Walmart.

'We literally thought of and designed and flew an aeroplane in the space of about six to eight weeks. Now it takes approximately the same amount of years'

- Sir Thomas Sopwith

'Motor cut. Forced Landing. Hit cow. Cow died. Scared me.'

- Dean Smith

'It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed'

- US Air Force Manual

'Landing on the ship during the daytime is like sex. It\'s eather good or its great. Landing on the ship at night is like a trip to the dentist; you may get away with no pain, but you just don\'t feel comfortable.'

-Thomas Quinn

Winston Churchill has given some good quotes:

"Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference."

"If you're going through hell, keep going."

"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else."

Two of the best:

"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."

"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."
