The PapaGolf Chronicles: I hope you appreciate this....

...because it is most assuredly not in my nature:

Quotes

You love a lot of things if you live around them, but there isn’t any woman and there isn’t any horse, nor any before nor any after, that is as lovely as a great airplane, and men who love them are faithful to them even though they leave them for others.

— Ernest Hemingway

I’ll run my hand gently over the wing of a small airplane and say to him, “This plane can teach you more things and give you more gifts than I ever could. It won’t get you a better job, a faster car, or a bigger house. But if you treat it with respect and keep your eyes open, it may remind you of some things you used to know — that life is in the moment, joy matters more than money, the world is a beautiful place, and that dreams really, truly are possible.” And then, because airplanes speak in a language beyond words, I’ll take him up in the evening summer sky and let the airplane show him what I mean.

— Lane Wallace

Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.

— Benjamin Franklin

A good way to rid one's self of a sense of discomfort is to do something. That uneasy, dissatisfied feeling is actual force vibrating out of order; it may be turned to practical account by giving proper expression to its creative character.

— William Morris

And once you have tasted flight, you will walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return.

— Leonardo DaVinci (obligatory)
