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

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.

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.

We are born to action; and whatever is capable of suggesting and guiding action has power over us from the first.

Anything lost, can be found again, except for time wasted. A vision without action is merely a dream. Action, it’s the grind, it’s the hustle, it’s the persistence.

Whites would accuse you of causing trouble when all you were doing was acting like a normal human being instead of cringing.

A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.

Words are capable of arousing the strongest emotions and prompting all men’s actions.

We want to empower people to take action and make change and translate their passion into really doing something

Power is of two kinds. One is obtained by the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love.

He who wishes to serve his country must have not only the power to think, but the will to act.
