Donna Reed Quotations

When you handle yourself, use your head; when you handle others, use your heart.

Forty pictures I was in, and all I remember is 'What kind of bra will you be wearing today, honey?' That was always the area of big decision - from the neck to the navel.

If nuclear power plants are safe, let the commerical insurance industry insure them. Until these most expert judges of risk are willing to gamble with their money, I'm not willing to gamble with the health and safety of my family.

I hope more people decide to become organ donors.

I've been involved with blood donation since the 1980s because there is a critical need.

What we look for in the school is unrealized potential.

I get the students involved because it's important to create awareness and to educate them of the donation process while they are students. If they become volunteer blood donors early, they will continue through their lives.

Just the idea of giving a critically ill person a new chance at life. Every time I think about it I get goose bumps. My son lives on in them.

Remember the night we broke the window in this old house? This is what I wished for.

Robert E. Lee Prewitt. Isn't that a silly old name.

Why can't (people) open their hearts up and look at the need for blood?

Bread that this house may never know hunger, salt that life may always have flavor.

That's 14 people who've saved my life and my son's life. That was a real gift. ... When you give blood, you give the gift of life.

I'm very happy that I could give you a new lease on life.
