“Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash.”

If enough of us keep trying, we’ll get someplace.

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.

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.

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

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

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.

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.

Never compare your insides to everyone else’s outsides.

I miss Nixon. Compared to these Nazis we have in the White House now, Richard Nixon was a flaming liberal.

My wisdom is as spurned as chaos. What is my nothingness, compared to the amazement that awaits you?

Hope is in the name of God, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope is when you compare your suffering to the infinite, immeasurable love and grace of God.

Have goals so big your problems pale in comparison.

It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.

Never be hurried in anything. Do all things calmly and in a spirit of repose. Do not lose your inward peace even if everything seems to be going wrong. What is anything in life compared to peace of soul?
