More quotes by Amelia Earhart
Adventure is worthwhile in itself.
Amelia Earhart
In soloing - as in other activities - it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.
Amelia Earhart
Women 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
No borders, just horizons - only freedom.
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.
Amelia Earhart
As soon as we left the ground, I knew I had to fly.
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.
Amelia Earhart
To worry is to add another hazard.
Amelia Earhart
No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another.
Amelia Earhart
The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.
Amelia Earhart
There are two kinds of stones, as everyone knows, one of which rolls.
Amelia Earhart
A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.
Amelia Earhart
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 Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings.
Amelia Earhart
The most difficult thing is the decision to act!
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
Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.
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.
Amelia Earhart
Worry retards reaction and makes clear-cut decisions impossible.
Amelia Earhart
Everyone has ocean's to fly, if they have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries?
Amelia Earhart
