"To laugh often, and love much, to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to give of ones self, to leave the world a lot better, to have played and sung with exaltation, to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, that is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803 - 1882
Beauty Tips by 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 fingers through it once a day.
For poise, Walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed. Never throw out anybody.
Remember: if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find One at the end of your arm. As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

I liked it enough to look it up.

Contrary to what some may think, Audrey Hepburn did not write this beautiful poem, Sam Levenson did. Levenson wrote "Time Tested Beauty Tips" for his grandchild, and it just so happened to be one of Audrey's favorite poems. She read it to her children on the very last Christmas Eve she spent with us here on Earth.

EXCELLENT CATCH re #3 !!
I sincerely appreciate your bringing that to our attention.
It is not the first time I've encountered such correction in these fora.
Others include:
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy” is misattributed to Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). Franklin did write this, in a 1779 letter to André Morellet: “Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.” Franklin loved wine more than he loved beer.

"Firearms stand next to the Constitution itself. They are the American peoples liberty teeth, & keystone under independence." sometimes attributed to George Washington, but this source says no:

And yet another, the correction of just one word in a quotation:
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subjected people to carry arms: history shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subjected people to carry arms have prepared their own fall." Adolf Hitler
"And I've pointed out that the key word in that Hitler quote is "subjugated" at least ten times." Cattleman
My continuing thanks to re, ZZ, and all the others that help point the way to truth.
- Trust those that seek the truth, distrust those that claim to have found it. - paraphrase of words attributed to the Buddha
