...but there isn't going to be any First Lady. There is just to be plain, ordinary Mrs. Roosevelt...I never wanted to be the president's wife, and don't want it now. You don't quite believe me, do you? Very likely no one would-except possibly some woman who had had the job.

This is not a time when women should be patient. We are in a war and we need to fight it with all our ability and every weapon possible. Women pilots, in this particular case, are a weapon waiting to be used.

So, after all, we are but puppets, creatures of our fate, not commanding it but being molded by it.

Curiosity must be kept alive.

Remember always that you have not only the right to be an individual; you have an obligation to be one.

Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death.

The choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.
