World peace through nonviolent means is neither absurd nor unattainable. All other methods have failed. Thus we must begin anew. Nonviolence is a good starting point. Those of us who believe in this method can be voices of reason, sanity, and understanding amid the voices of violence, hatred, and emotion. We can very well set a mood of peace out of which a system of peace can be built. - Martin Luther King Jr
You will change your mind; You will change your looks; You will change your smile, laugh, and ways but no matter what you change, you will always be you. - Martin Luther King Jr
A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease, and given them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential. - Audrey Hepburn
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others. - Audrey Hepburn
Forgive Quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile. - Audrey Hepburn
I can testify to what UNICEF means to children because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II. - Audrey Hepburn
I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it. - Audrey Hepburn
I had to make a choice at one point in my life, of missing films or missing my children. It was a very easy decision to make because I missed my children so very much. - Audrey Hepburn
I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel. - Audrey Hepburn
I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing. - Audrey Hepburn
I tried always to do better: saw always a little further. I tried to stretch myself. - Audrey Hepburn
If I get married, I want to be very married. Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future. - Audrey Hepburn
If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough. - Audrey Hepburn
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.' - Audrey Hepburn
Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once. - Audrey Hepburn
My first big mission for UNICEF in Ethiopia was just to attract attention, before it was too late, to conditions which threatened the whole country. My role was to inform the world, to make sure that the people of Ethiopia were not forgotten. - Audrey Hepburn
