02UndatedThe most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
03UndatedI want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
05UndatedNow and then women should do for themselves what men have already done—occasionally what men have not done—thereby establishing themselves as persons, and perhaps encouraging other women toward greater independence of thought and action.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
06UndatedSome of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
07UndatedFlying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
08UndatedOne of my favorite phobias is that girls, especially those whose tastes aren't routine, often don't get a fair break... It has come down through the generations, an inheritance of age-old customs which produced the corollary that women are bred to timidity.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
09UndatedThe more one does and sees and feels the more one is able to do and the more genuine may be one's own appreciation of fundamental things like home and love and understanding companionship.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
11UndatedIn soloing-as in other activities-it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
13UndatedThe woman who can create her own job is the one who will win fame and fortune.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
15UndatedOf course I realized there was a measure of danger. Obviously I faced the possibility of not returning when I first considered going. Once faced and settled there really wasn't any good reason to refer to it again.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
16UndatedThere is so much that must be done in a civilized barbarism like war.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
17UndatedWomen, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
18UndatedThe more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one's appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
19UndatedMostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn't. Without my husband's help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
20UndatedAviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
21UndatedWomen must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
22UndatedAviation offered such fun as crossing the continent in planes large and small, trying the whirling rotors of an autogiro, making record flights. With these activities came opportunity to know women everywhere who shared my conviction that there is so much women can do in the modern world and should be permitted to do irrespective of their sex.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
23UndatedBetter do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.Amelia Earhart / quote ↗
