Words of Wisdom: Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart was a famous American aviatrix who was the first female to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She was lost over the Pacific Ocean on July 2, 1937, on a flight around the globe. Here are some of her quotes:
- Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price
- Women must pay for everything. They do get more glory than men for comparable feats, but, they also get more notoriety when they crash
- The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune
- Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace
- Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do
- I want to do it because I want to do it
- Never interrupt someone doing what you said couldn't be done
- 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
- Adventure is worthwhile in itself
- 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
- In soloing - as in other activities - it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it
- There are two kinds of stones, as everyone knows, one of which rolls
- Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others
- No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. 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
- The most effective way to do it, is to do it
- 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
- 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 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
