Amelia Earhart

The stars are not so far away as we think.

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

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

The greatest danger in life is not taking risks.

I want to do it for the adventure of it.

My last flight was undertaken for the love of adventure, not for fame or fortune.

I hope that my flight will prove that women can do anything they set their minds to.

I have no desire to be a 'star.' I just want to fly.

The freedom of the air is a wonderful thing.

I believe that the world is always ready for a new woman.

The more one does, the more one can do.

I hate the word 'heroine.' I don't consider myself one.

I think I'll just keep on flying until I drop.

Half the fun of a race is in the preparation for it.

I have been as good a wife to you as I am able.

It takes more than mere skill to fly an airplane well. It takes nerve, and a certain amount of madness.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.

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

The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.

I lay no claim to advancing scientific data other than advancing flying knowledge.
