Amelia Earhart
Worry retards reaction and makes clear-cut decisions impossible.
Amelia Earhart
Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life the process is its own reward. Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And if they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
Amelia Earhart

Amelia Earhart
There are two kinds of stones, as everyone knows, one of which rolls.
Amelia Earhart
You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky.
Amelia Earhart
One 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
Obviously I faced the possibility of not returning when first I considered going. Once faced and settled there really wasn't any good reason to refer to it.
Amelia Earhart
Human crises have a way of happening at inconvenient times.
Amelia Earhart
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 a challenge to others.
