You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'

If I'm honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm, as you get older, remember you have another hand: The first is to help yourself, the second is to help others.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
