Plane Quotations
There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.
Albert Einstein
Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you.
Muhammad Ali
If Jesus were here today, he wouldn't be riding around on a donkey. He'd be taking a plane, he'd be using the media.
Joel Osteen
Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.
Robert Frost
Why don't they make the whole plane out of that black box stuff.
Steven Wright
Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do.
Golda Meir
I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
Charlie Chaplin
I did send a girl a plane ticket asking her for a visit, I guess that's quite romantic.
Orlando Bloom
Religions do a useful thing: they narrow God to the limits of man. Philosophy replies by doing a necessary thing: it elevates man to the plane of God.
Victor Hugo
If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I'd still swim. And I'd despise the one who gave up.
Abraham Maslow
