"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."
Audrey Hepburn
"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."
Audrey Hepburn
Yesterday marked the twentieth anniversary of Audrey Hepburn's death. The Hollywood screen legend and fashion icon, who was placed in the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame, practically wrote the definition of grace, beauty and poise.
Perhaps most famous for her roles in Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn remains one of few people who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards.
"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."
Audrey Hepburn
Audrey dedicated the later years of her life to UNICEF determined to help impoverished children in the poorest of nations. Today her humanitarian efforts are still carried out through the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund, under the direction of her youngest son.

"If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough."
Audrey Hepburn
