Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I 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.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no
release from little things, knows not the livid loneliness of fear.
– Amelia Earhart
The 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.

No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is
followed.

Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, But,
they also get more notoriety when they crash.

Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a
challenge to others.

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make
new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind
themselves.

Anticipation, I suppose, sometimes exceeds realization.
– Amelia Earhart
In my life I had come to realize that when things were going very well indeed it was just the
time to anticipate trouble. And, conversely, I learned from pleasant experience that at the
most despairing crisis, when all looked sour beyond words, some delightful “break” was apt to
lurk just around the corner.

I want to do something useful in the world.
– Amelia Earhart
Preparation, I have often said, is rightly two-thirds of any venture.

Being alone is scary, but not as scary as feeling alone in a relationship.

Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.

Experiment! Meet new people. That’s better than any college education.

After midnight the moon set and I was alone with the stars. I have often said that the lure of
flying is the lure of beauty, and I need no other flight to convince me that the reason flyers
fly, whether they know it or not, is the esthetic appeal of flying.
– Amelia Earhart
Flying may not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.

The most effective way to do it is to do it.
