Audrey Hepburn:

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
