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
Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationships of women with the creations of science.
Amelia Earhart
In soloing - as in other activities - it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.
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
Worry retards reaction and makes clear-cut decisions impossible.
