Some priceless Yeager quotes:

"My legacy, I suppose, is speed. But looking back, I don't think many people save a lot of time by moving faster from one point to the next, because from the time you're born until the time you die, it's pretty cut and dried. You have to take advantage of time, not speed."

--(I think I found the above quote in his first book, "Yeager," though I don't remember -- I just know I wrote it down when I found it.)

"Rules are for people who aren't willing to make up their own."

-- from Gen. Yeager's SPLENDID second book, "Press On," a super-dooper delightful and at times side-splittingly-funny read.

And of course the immortal,

"There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots."

-- my husband, an aviation artist, swears that this is a Yeager quote ... if it isn't, it should be!!

I LOVE Gen. Chuck Yeager. He is a true blue American hero -- him and Bud Anderson.
