Singer

Beverly Sills is known the world over for her acting skills. More than three decades passed, entertaining the audience with his beautiful voice and presence on stage. But Sill has another talent, one that is less well known. As National Chairman of the March March 'Mothers' March for birth defects, Sill has helped raise more than $ 70 million over ten years. Frequently meeting the parents of children with birth defects and visiting children in hospitals, Sill chose to choose his position to raise funds for the organization. Sills' reasons for dedicating himself to the cause of overcoming the birth defect come from his children, Muffy and Peter. Within two years, Muffy was diagnosed with severe hearing loss. A few months later, Peter was found to be mentally ill. After learning these disturbing truths, Sill left the stage to take care of her children. In time, and with the encouragement of her husband, Peter Greenough, she resumed her singing career. Also, when she was given the opportunity to work with Mom in March on Birthday, she caught that and has been working long hours to eliminate birth defects in all children.

QUOTES BY Beverly Sills

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.

I've always tried to go a step past wherever people expected me to end up.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.

A happy woman is one who has no cares at all; a cheerful woman is one who has cares but doesn't let them get her down.

In youth we run into difficulties. In old age difficulties run into us.

There is a growing strength in women but it's in the forehead, not the forearm.

A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.

Anger begins with folly, and ends with repentance.

You don't always get what you ask for, but you never get what you don't ask for... unless it's contagious!

My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can't.
