From Audrey Hepburn by Barry Paris, 1996, Putnam

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 or 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'll 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, 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 the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

  1. The beauty of a woman is in her smiles and laughter which melts your heart and rings in your ears even when she is not there. Perceive physical beauty is only skin deep and many times not enhance by smile. As age advances physical beauty fades and inner beauty if present shines forth.....
    The beauty of a woman is in her care, her warm embrace, her unflinching love which will hold you in a way that no steel cage can.....

  2. I greet the sunrise with a smile
    arms spread wide soaking the heat

    dew drops on blades of grass awhile
    soon disappear, a moment in fleet

    Chirping insects, a snake coil,the Nile
    birds singing praise, virgin air so sweet

    cloud puffs, dancing rays, nothing vile
    face to the east, rising sun I meet

    New day born, hope reigns, beauty mile on mile
    glimpse life tapestry..A new day I meet
