Some 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.

More quotes by Amelia Earhart
Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.
Amelia Earhart
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. 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.
Amelia Earhart
I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty. That the reasons flyers fly, whether they know it or not, is the aesthetic appeal of flying.
Amelia Earhart
The best way to do it, is to do it!
Amelia Earhart
So I accept these awards on behalf of the cake bakers and all of those other women who can do some things quite as important, if not more important, than flying, as well as in the name of women flying today.

Ours is the commencement of a flying age, and I am happy to have popped into existence at a period so interesting.

How can Life grant us boon of living, compensateFor dull grey ugliness and pregnant hateUnless we dareThe soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we payWith courage to behold the resistless day,And count it fair.
Amelia Earhart
The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.
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
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
Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationships of women with the creations of science.
Amelia Earhart
The 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
There is so much that must be done in a civilized barbarism like war.
Amelia Earhart
Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense.
Amelia Earhart
Please let us not interfere with the other's work or play, nor let the world see our private joys or disagreements. In this connection I may have to keep some place where I can go to be myself, now and then, for I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinements of even an attractive cage.
Amelia Earhart
Decide...whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved. If it is, stop worrying.
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.
Amelia Earhart
Experiment! Meet new people. That’s better than any college education . . . By adventuring about, you become accustomed to the unexpected. The unexpected then becomes what it really is . . . the inevitable.
Amelia Earhart
