"Simple is best."

I never knew if he was talking about another kite invention like the parafoil that would be more powerful and even more basic in construction or something else all together. This statement however, definitely holds true for the Parafoil.

"If it shaped like a wing, performs like a wing, and looks like a wing, ........ then it must be a wing"

"The impetus behind the the invention of the Parafoil was to solve the problem of lifting materials off the ground cheaply and efficiently by harnessing the power of the wind."

"The Parafoil was not invented as a descending device, but as an ascending one."

"The efforts are great, but the reward will crown your efforts."

"Theory is knowledge that is debatable"

"Science is to do.........a fact that must be accepted."

"Do not be afraid of opposition. Remember: The Parafoil rises against, NOT WITH the wind"

"A kite is not a toy but a scientific instrument. Balloons similarly, are not play things for children, but part of the national defence system."

"The parafoil is the combination of the best of the balloon and the kite."
