More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
Kindness is one of the greatest gifts you can bestow upon another. If someone is in need, lend them a helping hand. Do not wait for a thank you. True kindness lies within the act of giving without the expectation of something in return.
Katharine Hepburn
If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but what are you going to do now? is the only thing that matters.

Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
A boy sows a wild oat or two, the world winks. A girl does the same -- scandal.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
You give because you love and cannot help giving.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
Why slap them on the wrist with feather when you can belt them over the head with a sledgehammer.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
The terrible thing about acting in the theater is that you have to do it at night.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't think that work ever really destroyed anybody. I think that lack of work destroys them a hell of a lot more.
Katharine Hepburn

Katharine Hepburn
