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

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.

Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done.

Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

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

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

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

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

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

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

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.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure , the process is its own reward.

Among all the marvels of modern invention, that with which I am most concerned is, of course, air transportation. Flying is perhaps the most dramatic of recent scientific attainment. In the brief span of thirty-odd years, the world has seen an inventor's dream first materialized by the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk become an everyday actuality.

Aviation offered such fun as crossing the continent in planes large and small, trying the whirling rotors of an autogiro, making record flights. With these activities came opportunity to know women everywhere who shared my conviction that there is so much women can do in the modern world and should be permitted to do irrespective of their sex.

Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of women and the creations of science. Although women have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men.

I have often been asked what I think about at the moment of take-off. Of course, no pilot sits and feels his pulse as he flies. He has to be part of the machine. If he thinks of anything but the task in hand, then trouble is probably just around the corner.

I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty.

Mostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn't. Without my husband's help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.

No borders, just horizons – only freedom.

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

Anticipation, I suppose, sometimes exceeds realization.

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

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

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

You havent seen a tree until youve seen its shadow from the sky.

A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves.

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 but a challenge to others.

I want to do is because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.
