“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.”

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.

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.

I am not ambitious to appear a man of letters: I could be content the world should think I had scarce looked upon any other book than that of nature.

All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.

Few are more unhappy than those who have great ambition, but little energy to urge it into activity.

We now know most things that can be measured in this world, except the bounds of human ambition!

I don’t have any ambition.

I’ve got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom.

Finally I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to be what I already I am.

Secret of my success was to have ambition and know minds of men.
