Helen Hayes
From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.
Helen Hayes
In the last stages of a final illness, we need only the absence of pain and the presence of family.
Helen Hayes
Our house was always filled with dogs... They helped make our house a kennel, it is true, but the constant patter of their filthy paws and the dreadful results of their brainless activities have warmed me throughout the years.
Helen Hayes
If you rest, you rust.
