To worry is to add another hazard.

The most difficult thing is the decision to act!

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.

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.

I lay no claim to advancing scientific data other than advancing flying knowledge. I can only say that I do it because I want to.

Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace, The soul that knows it not, knows no release, From little things; Knows not the livid loneliness of fear Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear The sound of wings.

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