More quotes by Amelia Earhart
Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationships of women with the creations of science.
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
My ambition is to have this wonderful gift produce practical results for the future of commercial flying and for the women who may want to fly tomorrow's planes.
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
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.

Amelia Earhart
the stars seemed near enough to touch and never before have i seen so many. i always believed the lure of flying is the lure of beauty, but i was sure of it that night.
Amelia Earhart
Now 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
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
Amelia Earhart
I lay no claim to advancing scientific data other than advancing flying knowledge. I can only say that I do it because I want to.
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
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
Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.
Amelia Earhart
The soul's dominion? Each time we make a choice, we pay With courage to behold the restless day, And count it fair.
Amelia Earhart
Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.
Amelia Earhart
When a great adventure is offered, you don't refuse it.

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