"There is nothing that makes its way more directly to the soul than beauty."
Joseph Addison
"You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older."
Anouk Aimée
"I had always loved beautiful and artistic things, though before leaving America I had had a very little chance of seeing any."
Emma Albani
"Love is a great beautifier."
Louisa May Alcott
"Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them and try to follow them."
Louisa May Alcott
"Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised."
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
"This--this was what made life: a moment of quiet, the water falling in the fountain, the girl's voice...a moment of captured beauty. He who is truly wise will never permit such moments to escape."
Roger Bannister
"Boys are found everywhere-on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket."
Alan Marshall Beck
"A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot."
Alan Marshall Beck
"Art strives for form, and hopes for beauty."
Rose Elizabeth Bird
"When the Japanese mend broken objects they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold, because they believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful."
Barbara Bloom
"Pick a man for his human qualities, his values, his compatibility with you, rather than what he represents in status, power or good looks."
Carol Botwin
"I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them; God hath no better praise, And man in his hasty days Is honored for them."
Robert Bridges
"As against having beautiful workshops, studios, etc., one writes best in a cellar on a rainy day."
Van Wyck Brooks
"To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind."
Pearl Sydenstricker Buck
"The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you. There's only one catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you'll reach out and take it. Maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too."
(Carl) Frederick Buechner
"Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life."
James Francis Byrnes
"The love of beauty in its multiple forms is the noblest gift of the human cerebrum."
Alexis Carrel
"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."
Rachel Louise Carson
"It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature's gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever."
James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr.
