Who said the following (possibly paraphrased)?
God does not count against Man’s time on Earth, those hours spent in the sky.
Well, I couldn’t find it on www.skygod.com
It sure sounds familar…
I got my sig from Wartime Writings. At least, that’s where I think I got it. I may have read the quote in the OP there. But then I think that I may have seen it on an aviation poster or a bumper sticker.
I’m pretty sure that something very similar was said by the author of your signature quote, though IIRC he was paraphrasing Isaak Walton, who originally said it of fishing.
I’ve always heard that quote attributed to St. Exupéry.
It’s also said about golf:

Its such a widespread phrase, said about so many different things that I doubt it’s possible to pin it to a specific origin.
