“As soon as we left the ground, I knew I had to fly.”

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.

The more one does the more one can do.

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

There are two kinds of stones, as everyone knows, one of which rolls.

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.

You can do anything you decide to do.

The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.

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.

Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.

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.

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.

Anticipation, I suppose, sometimes exceeds realization.

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

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.

No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another.

Use your fear, it can take you to the place where you store your courage.
