"If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance," Orville Wright (One of my absolute favorite quotes)
"Men will never fly, because flying is for angels," Milton Wright, father of the Wright Brothers.
"Thousands of men had thought about flying machines, and a few had even built machines, but these were guilty of almost everything except flying," Wilbur Wright
A dose of the Wright Brothers (And Father) for you.

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official."
