Women, and occasionally men, idolize Audrey Hepburn for many reasons. Not only was she beautiful, she was an intelligent film and fashion icon. Many little girl's dream to follow in the footsteps of such an incredible role model. She was an inspiring woman with important words of wisdom. I have put together some of my favorite quotes by Audrey which I think are important in any young-adult life.

On finding people to surround yourself with, whether it be friends or love interests, Audrey reminds us to laugh often and smile everyday, it really is the best medicine for any cure.

1. "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."

Important words to remember when you are having an off day, things will get better.

2. "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."

Something to remind yourself when dealing with heartbreak or disappointment:

3. "Your heart just breaks, that’s all. But you can’t judge or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you."

When you are embarrassed of being shy or just feel like being by yourself, just remember Audrey was an introvert too:

4. "I’m an introvert… I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky."

On dealing with your insecurities:

5. "The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows."

6. "The greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings… I’m a long way from the human being I’d like to be. But I’ve decided I’m not so bad after all."

7. “There is more to feminine charm than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much femininity, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.”

On your personality and outer appearance, Audrey reminds us to express your feminine side and remember that true beauty comes from within:

8. "Make-up can only make you look pretty on the outside but it doesn’t help if your ugly on the inside. Unless you eat the make-up."

9. "I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles."

On navigating through life:

10. “The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters.”

I hope you have enjoyed this collection of quotes and that we can all strive to have a little bit of Audrey in us!
