"The machine itself was nothing; the method was everything."

"The age of the flying machine is at hand."

"It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill."

"I confess that in 1901 I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for 50 years. Ever since I have distrusted myself and trusted him."

"I think it will be a long time yet before anyone will be flying at any great height or speed."
