Historic Flight Foundation

Famous quotes containing the words historic, flight and/or foundation:

“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity.

World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“When the flight is not high the fall is not heavy.”
—Chinese proverb.

“To apologize is to lay the foundation for a future offense.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
