12 Quotes From Audrey Hepburn On Being Sophisticated, Upbeat And Stylish

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."

    One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
