There was something in her smile, in her eyes, in her timeless and natural elegance.

The following are quotes from Audrey Hepburn when she was asked to share her beauty secrets.

“For beautiful lips speak only words of kindness.”

“For beautiful eyes look for only good in others.”

“For a slim figure always share your food with the hungry.”

“To have beautiful hair, let a little boy or a girl stroke it at least once a day.”

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

“A woman’s true beauty is not her figure, in the way she dresses, in the clothes she wears or in the way she does her hair. A woman’s beauty is seen in her eyes, because they are the window to her soul, the place where love dwells.”

“A woman’s true beauty increases with years.”

“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, it’s at the end of your arm.

“As you get older, remember you have another hand: the first is to help yourself, the second one is to help others.”

“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. Others matter more than you do, so don’t fuss, dear; get on with it.”

PRAYER

“You could have made me perfect by my standards or someone else’s, God, but you didn’t. Instead, You made me just the way you wanted me – perfect according to your standard. To doubt that is to doubt your love, but to realize that is to find perfect peace, security, solace, refuge and repose in your love. Take me now just as I am, into your heart of hearts.”
