Hayes, Helen quotes

1900-1993 American Actress

Hayes, Helen
Love

The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
Hayes, Helen

Hayes, Helen

Hayes, Helen

Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.
Hayes, Helen
Achievement

Age is not important unless you re a cheese.
Hayes, Helen
Age and Aging

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