"Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense." Amelia Earhart

(from Wikipedia) Amelia Mary Earhart (July 24, 1897–disappeared 1937) was a noted American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first woman to receive the U.S.Distinguished Flying Cross, awarded for becoming the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.


For me, just her name conjures up images of adventure, guts, and glory. Here are some great quotes from Amelia...
