Princess Diana died on this day 24 years ago in a car crash in Paris. She was traveling in a car with her boyfriend Dodi Fayed.

The first wife of Charles, the Prince of Wales, and mother of Prince William and Prince Harry was fondly known as "The People's Princess."

Diana was passionate about humanitarian works and was admired by the world for the same. She was born to British nobles Frances Shand Kydd and Edward John Spencer. Princess Diana always wanted to become a ballerina but she was too tall. After she got married to Prince Charles, she was known in the royal family and the world as a fearless and free-spirited person.

Here are 10 inspirational quotes, collected from Goalcast, by the late princess to remember her on her 24th death anniversary:

1. "Everyone needs to be valued. Everyone has the potential to give something back."

2. "Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you."

3. "Everyone of us needs to show how much we care for each other and, in the process, care for ourselves."

4. "They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?"

5. "Hugs can do great amounts of good — especially for children."

6. "The greatest problem in the world today is intolerance. Everyone is so intolerant of each other."

7. "I don't want expensive gifts; I don't want to be bought. I have everything I want. I just want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure."

8. "I touch people. I think everyone needs that. Placing a hand on a friend's face means making contact."

9. "Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny."

10. "Anywhere I see suffering that is where I want to be, doing what I can."
