For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!"
Today while Wayne and I were waiting to get our hair cut, I looked up on the main wall and part of the quote above was divided into parts, painted in big letters across the wall and the credit was given to Audrey Hepburn. Even though this quote is quite well known, I hadn't heard it before. When we got home I looked the quote up on the Internet to see if Audrey really did write the quote. The quote was one of Audrey's favorites but it was actually written by Sam Levenson. I love the quote so I thought I'd share it with you.

Thank you - I feel we all need to hear or read this every day to remind us . And to help us from straying from what is really important. As I read my chapter a day, I see how it is easy to loss your way and fall , The people I am reading about dis it over and over again. And I remember in my History classes, they would say that we learn from the past to not repeat our mistakes. What is why we should care about what is inside us and not so much what the outside appears to be.
My 10 year old George loves Audrey Hepburn so I'm going to show him this and get him to read the quote and understand what it means. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Kathy.
Audrey Hepburn personified all that is truly beautiful in a human being. Her humanitarian for UNICEF were extraordinary and super-human. Irreplaceable!! Peace. . .
