Day 30: A motto or philosophy {this is more like a prayer for my life}

Lord,

 make me an instrument of your peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon:

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope

where there is darkness, light

where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.

~St. Francis of Assisi 

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 or 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.

~Audrey Hepburn
