Helen Hayes

Childhood is a short season.
Helen Hayes  

Every human being on this earth is born with a tragedy, and it isn't original sin. He's born with the tragedy that he has to grow up... a lot of people don't have the courage to do it.
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  

If you rest, you rust.
Helen Hayes  

The story of a love is not important-what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity.
Helen Hayes  

When traveling with someone, take large does of patience and tolerance with your morning coffee.
Helen Hayes  

We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.
Helen Hayes
