Decide...whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved. If it is, stop worrying.

Please let us not interfere with the other's work or play, nor let the world see our private joys or disagreements. In this connection I may have to keep some place where I can go to be myself, now and then, for I cannot guarantee to endure at all times the confinements of even an attractive cage.

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.

In my life I had come to realize that when things were going very well indeed it was just the time to anticipate trouble. And, conversely, I learned from pleasant experience that at the most despairing crisis, when all looked sour beyond words, some delightful "break" was apt to lurk just around the corner.

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

Adventure is worthwhile in itself.

If enough of us keep trying, we'll get someplace.
