More Than Just A Pretty Face

I don't claim to know everything about Audrey Hepburn.  In fact, far from it.  I've seen a handful of her movies and I recognize her face but that is about the extent of it.  Every once in a while, I come across something she said that makes me smile and wish that I knew her a little better.

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

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/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others."

"I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls."

"Nothing is impossible; the word itself says 'I'm possible!'"

"The best thing to hold onto in life is each other."

Thanks, Audrey.  I needed that.
