"I was asked to act when I..." - Quote by Audrey Hepburn

“How shall I sum up my life? I think I've been particularly lucky. Does that have something to do with faith also? I know my mother always used to say, 'Good things aren't supposed to just fall in your lap. God is very generous, but he expects you to do your part first.' So you have to make that effort. But at the end of a bad time or a huge effort, I've always had - how shall I say it? - the prize at the end. My whole life shows that.”

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

“I'm half-Irish, half-Dutch, and I was born in Belgium. If I was a dog, I'd be in a hell of a mess!”

“Every day do something that frightens you.”

“Every need brings in what's needed. Pain bears its cure like a child.”

“The first twelve years are the hardest.”

“Men talk as if victory were something fortunate. Work is victory.”

“Loving others always costs us something and requires effort. And you have to decide to do it on purpose. You can't wait for a feeling to motivate you.”

“If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing.”
