"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

“People have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed.”

“I was asked to act when I couldn't act. I was asked to sing when I couldn't sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn't dance - and do all kinds of things I wasn't prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.”

“It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'”

“I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me.”

“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It's probably the most important thing in a person.”

“If you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.” ~~Audrey Hepburn

"If", by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream — and not make dreams your master;
If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings — nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run –
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And — which is more — you’ll be a Man my son!

One night in bed I couldn't get the girls to stop giggling. I kept telling them to quiet down when I heard Star say, "Girls, we need to be quiet. Try thinking of something tragic!" (age 9)

I was reading Make Way For Ducklings to Pie today and when I read the list of duckling names she exclaimed, "Those are really wonderful names!" (age 4)
