We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft, but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

If we would have had the 262 at our disposal - even with all the delays - if we could have had in '44, ah, let's say three hundred operational, that day we could have stopped the American daytime bombing offensive, that's for sure.

The throttles could only move very, very slowly, always watching the temperature, always watching. And even in throttling back, you could bust it, even being very careful.

Of course, the outcome of the war would not have been changed. The war was lost perhaps, when it was started. At least it was lost in the winter of '42, in Russia.

And most of these pilots were lost during the first five flights.

I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time, the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.

Nine g's is good, if the pilot can stand it. We couldn't stand it. Not in the airplanes of World War II.

It's unbelievable what one squadron of twelve aircraft did to tip the balance.

This would only come if you have a revolutionary change in technology like the jet brought about.

When I was fired from my post as General of the Fighter Arm, I was to give proof that this jet was a superior fighter. And that's when we did it. I think we did it.

We had at our disposal the first operational jet, which superseded by at least 150 knots the fastest American and English fighters. This was a unique situation.

According to Goering and the Luftwaffe High Command, they were supposed to be the fighter elite.

Many pilots of the time were the opinion that a fighter pilot in a closed cockpit was an impossible thing, because you should smell the enemy. You could smell them because of the oil they were burning.

We have built a total of about 1250 of this aircraft, but only fifty were allowed to be used as fighters - as interceptors. And out of this fifty, there were never more than 25 operational. So we had only a very, very few.

I made a written report which is still today in existence. I have a photocopy of it, and I am saying that in production this aircraft could perhaps substitute for three propeller- driven aircraft of the best existing type. This was my impression.

I had to inspect all fighter units in Russia, Africa, Sicily, France, and Norway. I had to be everywhere.

I could not claim them because I was not supposed to be flying in combat.

Flying is more than a sport and more than a job; flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime.

Charisma is a sign of the calling. Saints and pilgrims are defiantly moved by it.

She is smart. She is principled. She is tough, and she is ready. Hillary is the single most experienced and prepared person who has ever run for president.

I do think that same gender partners should be able to be married. Why not? If you share a life together than who in the world should have anything to say about it?

Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.

Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.

To me, drone use is a moral issue.

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

Donald Trump represents a threat both to the party and to the country. I believe he makes the world far more dangerous, I believe he puts America's economy in jeopardy. And his temperament is totally unsuited for the presidency.

I'm still chasing girls. I don't remember what for, but I'm still chasing them.

I'm telling you, there is a lot of power in being unapologetic.

A messy house is a must it separates your true friends from other friends. Real friends are there to visit you not your house!

Agatha Christie's writing is incredibly skillful because her books are incredibly intellectually puzzling and challenging.

My parents weren't artistic, but I was always surrounded by beautiful things. And Mexico is a country which has experienced thousands of years of art and culture.

I grew up as a Polynesian kid in the Polynesian community, and I was this skinny white kid.

A hungry stomach rarely despises common food.

Setting your intention is like drawing an arrow from the quiver of your heart.

I just wanted to do this all Australian film and we didn't want to give creative control to overseas 'cause whoever comes on my sets, whether you're sweeping the floor or an actor, it doesn't matter who comes up with the ideas, it's a collaboration.

I have to say that anger is the blanket that comes around me and that blunts and blurs my sense of proportion.

I don't read young adult or children's books, now that my grandchildren are beyond the age of my reading to them. I read reviews, and so I'm aware of what's out there. But I tend not to read the books.

My parents just neglected me, I wasn't abused or anything.

We didn't care about salaries and having a nice car. We just cared about science and were really ambitious.

You’ll be free or die!

Every man has inside himself a parasitic being who is acting not at all to his advantage.

I am willing to admit that if the agriculturists are oppressed by peculiar burdens, they ought to be relieved from them, or be allowed a fair and just protection equivalent to all such peculiar burdens.
