Actress and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn remains one of the greatest icons of 20th-century Hollywood. She won an Academy Award for her first major film, "Roman Holiday," stunned the masses in haute-couture comedies like "Sabrina" and "Breakfast at Tiffany’s," and conveyed a natural sense of grace all her life. Yet before her glitzy career, as a young girl in Nazi-occupied Belgium, Hepburn was a Resistance courier who often teetered on the brink of starvation. (This informed her work as a UNICEF ambassador decades later.) Her wisdom here stems from the knowledge that life's exquisite moments can be fleeting and should be cherished. Creating that momentary beauty and stillness for ourselves can help us push forward, even through the hardest times.
