5 - Advice to women from a pro, Audrey Hepburn:
:
It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
It is important that a man makes you laugh.
It is important to find a man you can count on. And doesn't lie to you.
It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
It is important that these four men don't know each other.
These are Audrey's "beauty tips" - read at her funeral:
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run its fingers through it.
For poise,walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, more that things, have to be restored, renewed,revived, reclaimed and redeemed.
Never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that your two hands are: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

2 - Here's my favorite Dorothy Parker poem, "Indian Summer":
In youth it was a way I had
To do my best to please,
And change with every passing lad,
To suit his theories.
But now I know the things I know,
And do the things I do:
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you!
3 - From designer William Morris on your home, your haven, your castle:
"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."
