I aspire to be nice to everyone because you never know what they're going through. It takes so little to make someone's day whether it's a simple "Hello!" or "I love your outfit!" Audrey Hepburn taught me this. Sure, Audrey thought that "pearls will dress up any outfit," but she also believed in the importance of recognizing our own beauty within.
She expressed that another key factor to a happy life is to never stop smiling. I think of her as the definition of elegance and someone I aspire to be like. Life is too short and Audrey would want us to all experience the blissful moments in our everyday lives.
When you are having a tough day, just remember a few of my favorite Hepburn quotes. I can't promise your day will be immediately better, but she can make you smile if you are willing to open your heart. So be your own kind of beautiful and just know that you are, in the words of MKTO's "Classic," ... timeless, just so classic. Here are my favorite quotes from Audrey Hepburn. Hope you enjoy!
1. "Nothing is impossible, the word
itself says 'I'm possible'!"
2. "For beautiful eyes, look for the good
in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."
3. "I was born with an enormous need for
affection, and a terrible need to give it."
4. "The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides."
5. "Paris is always a good idea."
6. "The best thing to hold onto in life
is each other."
7. "People, even more than things, have
to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out
anyone."
8. "As you grow older, you will discover
that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping
others."
9. "I’ve been lucky. Opportunities don’t often come along. So, when they do, you have to grab them."
10. "I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the
best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being
strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are
the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in
miracles."
11."Elegance is the only beauty that never fades."
12. "The most important thing is to enjoy your life -- to be happy -- it's all that matters."
