"Better do a good deed near at home than go far away to burn incense." ― Amelia Earhart Topic(s): Home More From Amelia Earhart "The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure , the process is its own reward." "Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others." "The most effective way to do it, is to do it." More In Home "Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad."― James Madison "I tour alone. There’s no sound check, no back up. I stay with the hosts; I am in a family home and it’s really nourishing. I just have to remember after the show not to run out into the living room in my pyjamas. Every day, it’s a new relationship being built. It’s odd and wonderful."― Jane Siberry "A minister has to be able to read a clock. At noon, it’s time to go home and turn up the pot roast and get the peas out of the freezer."― Garrison Keillor
