Amelia Earhart

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

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

I lay no claim to being a pioneer. I am just a woman who loves to fly.

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

There's more to life than being a passenger.

I want to do it because I want to do it.

Prepare yourself for the worst, but hope for the best.

Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off! But if you don't, then just start building one.

Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.

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

Please know that I am quite 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 but a challenge to others.

It is a question of whether you will let the fear of what might happen stop you from doing what you want to do.

Aviation, like the sea, is an unforgiving mistress.

To me, marriage is a three-legged stool, and the third leg is a career.

I do not wish to shirk any of the responsibilities that may be mine, but I do not wish to be bound by any medieval code of morals.

Women must work as hard as men to prove their right to a place in the sun.

In my opinion, the future of women in aviation is limitless.

I believe that the more women do, the more they are appreciated.

The lure of the unknown is too strong to resist.

To be a successful woman, one must be willing to take chances.
