“The time to worry is three months before a flight. Decide then whether or not the goal is worth the risks involved. If it is, stop worrying. To worry is to add another hazard. It retards reactions, makes one unfit. Hamlet would have been a bad aviator. He worried too much.”
— Amelia Earhart (verified)“Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson (verified)“The secret of great battles consists in knowing how to deploy and concentrate at the right time.”
