Words of Wisdom
Here are a few quotes

Take and use them as you wish.

"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 that you never walk
alone.
We leave you
a tradition of the future.
The tender loving care of human beings will never become
obsolete.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed,
revived, reclaimed, redeemed and redeemed.
Never throw anyone away.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one
at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you'll discover that you have two hands:
One for helping yourself, the second for helping others.
Author unknown, (attributed to Audrey Hepburn)
