I just can't get enough Audrey!

Ok, I was just so inspired by Audrey Hepburn yesterday that I decided to devote a whole post of nothing but her fabulous quotes! Happy Thursday!

~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.

~I decided, very early on, just to accept life unconditionally; I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I seemed to accomplish far more than I had ever hoped. Most of the time it just happened to me without my ever seeking it.

~I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.

~I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

~It's that wonderful old-fashioned idea that others come first and you come second. This was the whole ethic by which I was brought up. Others matter more than you do, so 'don't fuss, dear; get on with it.'

~People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

~Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past, I think, has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.

~Success is like reaching an important birthday and finding you're exactly the same.

~The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

~There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion.
