Quotable Women - Five favourites

My fondness for words - so very obvious here as I am sure you will agree dear reader - means I find myself collecting those I like, squirrelling them away for future reference, trying to remember them, to live by their wisdom, to be inspired and to just enjoy the sentiments.

• "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 their 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." - Audrey Hepburn

• "Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt

• "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou

• "Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." - Harriet Beecher Stowe

• "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." - Maya Angelou

I would be delighted if you have a favourite quote you could share with me.
