“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.”

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

Obviously I faced the possibility of not returning when first I considered going. Once faced and settled there really wasn’t any good reason to refer to it.

The most effective way to do it, is to just do it.

Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.

When a great adventure is offered, you don’t refuse it.

The best way to do it, is to do it!

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

To worry is to add another hazard.

Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.

Aviation records don’t fall until someone is willing to mortgage the present for the future.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act!

The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.

You haven’t seen a tree until you’ve seen its shadow from the sky.

Being alone is scary, but not as scary as feeling alone in a relationship.

Ours is the commencement of a flying age, and I am happy to have popped into existence at a period so interesting.

No borders, just horizons – only freedom.

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

Challenge negative forces with hope, self-confidence and conviction. I believe that ambition and initiative will ultimately triumph.

Our dreams have to be bigger. Our ambitions higher. Our commitment deeper. And our efforts greater. This is my dream for Reliance and for India.

An average person with average talents and average ambition can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society; if that person has clear focused goals.

The man who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won’t succeed, you must have a larger ambition.

I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.

I’m not ambitious. I don’t want to get anywhere, I don’t want anything more. I sometimes think that for me that is the real freedom, that I don’t want anything. I don’t want money or prizes. I want people to know that a war is going to be fought.

Individual Ambition Serves the Common Good.
