Quote:
"I will not retire while I've still got my legs and my make-up box."
-Bette Davis
Bette Davis never gave up. While she had her legs and her make-up box [as she said in her quote] she was always still acting. That for me means a lot, because most people retire as soon as they can, when they still have prefect working bodies, but Bette she always acted.

Quotes from the Breast Cancer Foundation
“It’s who we are, it’s what we do, it’s why we are here, to end breast Cancer forever.” –the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer foundation. By that quote I think they meant that the foundation was made to help people with breast cancer. And there is also a purpose that everyone was put on this planet. So people should do something like help end breast cancer. That they should make a difference in other people’s lives.
Another quote that has come from the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is; “One promise, two sisters”. At first I did not understand what they meant by that, but after reading a little more about the founders I understood. Nancy Brinker the founder, was very close to her sister Susan Komen, so it devastated her when she heard that her sister’s cancer had gotten worse and spread. So she told her dying sister that she would do everything in her power to stop breast cancer, in her honor. And that is how the foundation got started
