Who may forget Elizabeth Taylor? The talented Hollywood actress who captivated as by her beauty and elegance. At twelve, she started her acting career. She starred in a number of Hollywood's finest films, which include Cleopatra, The Sandpiper, Doctor Faustus, The Taming of the Shrew and so much more. Apart from her many notable films, she is also a known social activist. The American Foundation for AIDS Research was one of the foundation whom she had helped. After Rock Hudson, her dear friend died from this disease, she founded the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation or ETAF. Recently at the age of 79, Tayor died due to congestive heart failure.
Being a passionate actress, activist and mother, she left several inspiring quotes to live on by. Here are some of them.
"When they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get".Perhaps, Taylor saw a number of aged men marry women who are exactly the same old as their kids. Conceivably, Taylor feels that men do that basically because they cannot face the fact that they are getting old. Younger wives make them feel young and alive.
"I'm a survivor - a living example of what people can go through and survive".
Taylor did survived many things. Seven times she went through divorce. Twice with Richard Burton. Hospitalized for about 70 times and 20 major operations, all these she went through and can carry on.
"I've been through it all, baby, I'm mother courage".
Once you survive so many things in your life, you certainly will learn to be courageous. With so many adversities and tests that went through in life, that’s the thing she learned. Indeed, she have regretted the mistakes and some of the decisions she made. Nevertheless, she learned. She became wiser and more secure.
"It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting".
This is true. As you will notice, men during their prime are very busy. They value their time as if time is equivalent of money. They don’t want to wait and hate idle time. Men tend to become less active as they age. They tend to have more time to spend. They have greater capability to wait for other people who are too busy to create time for them.
"When people say, 'She's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow".
Life is a cycle. No man can live a thousand years or more. No one is able to boldly state that I got everything because it is far from the truth. No one can really tell if any person is still alive on the next day. Perhaps, you happen to be too busy earning money for your retirement that you are spending less time with your loved ones. So take one day at a time. It is okay to plan but do not live at the future. Live at the present.
"It is bad enough that people are dying of AIDS, but no one should die of ignorance".
Taylor is really very active in her AIDS foundation as it was mentioned earlier in this article. She have seen the sole reason why people die of aids is because of their ignorance of its symptoms, factors and the possible treatment. She believed that educating people of AIDS could possibly help in reducing the quantity of mortality.
Indeed, Elizabeth Taylor is a woman of confidence, power and glamour. Her courageous words, aside from her inspiring films, will be left a lifetime for all the readers and movie enthusiasts ?out there?
