Douglas Bader

Quotes

• “Don't listen to anyone who tells you that you can't do this or that. That's nonsense. Make up your mind, you'll never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”
• “Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools.”
• “I am not one of those who see war as a cricket match where you first give anything to defeat the opponent and then shake hands”
• “If you come out of the sun, the German will never see you coming.”
