Motivational Quotes
Beauty
Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.
Best Quotes about Beauty
There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.
Ray, John
The esthete stands in the same relation to beauty as the pornographer stands to love, and the politician stands to life.
Kraus, Karl
The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.
Sand, George
Beauty is desired in order that it may be befouled; not for its own sake, but for the joy brought by the certainty of profaning it.
Bataille, Georges
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
Henry Miller
Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due -- she reminds us too much of a prima donna.
Forster, Edward M.
I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.
Spinoza, Baruch (Benedict de)
To me, fair friend, you never can be old. For as you were when first your eye I eyed. Such seems your beauty still.
Shakespeare, William
Beauty is a primeval phenomenon, which itself never makes its appearance, but the reflection of which is visible in a thousand different utterances of the creative mind, and is as various as nature herself.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
Beauty in not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Gibran, Kahlil
Beauty is the mark God sets on virtue. Every natural action is graceful; every heroic act is also decent, and causes the place and the bystanders to shine.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank
I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!
Augustine, St.
The pursuit of beauty is much more dangerous nonsense than the pursuit of truth or goodness, because it affords a stronger temptation to the ego.
Frye, Northrop
The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination; if false, that it lessens. There is therefore, something in true beauty that corresponds with right reason, and is not the mere creation of fancy.
Greville, Lord
Where beauty is worshipped for beauty's sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty.
Huxley, Aldous
Beauty, unaccompanied by virtue, is as a flower without perfume.
Proverb, French
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.
I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want --an adorable pancreas?
Kerr, Jean
There's something almost perfect in the ugly duckling syndrome. Because a sensitivity is tattooed on a part of you no one else can see but can somehow guess is there.
Stephanie Klein
Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it. It is like the perfume of a rose: you can smell it and that is all.
Maugham, W. Somerset
One evening I sat Beauty on my knees --And I found her bitter --And I reviled her.
Rimbaud, Arthur
Nothing can be beautiful which is not true.
Ruskin, John
The ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them.
Maugham, W. Somerset
Beauty is a good letter of introduction.
Proverb, Portuguese
What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.
Sappho
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful.
L'Enclos, Ninon De
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Anouilh, Jean
Remember if you marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which perchance, will neither last nor please thee one year: and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
Plotinus
If there is one thing worse than being an ugly duckling in a house of swans, it's having the swans pretend there's no difference.
Teena Booth
Beauty is whatever gives joy.
Nibley, Hugh
The ideal beauty is a fugitive which is never found.
SeVigne, Marquise De
In the beautiful, man sets himself up as the standard of perfection; in select cases he worships himself in it. Man believes that the world itself is filled with beauty --he forgets that it is he who has created it. He alone has bestowed beauty upon the world --alas! only a very human, an all too human, beauty.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
Teale, Edwin Way
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
Gibran, Kahlil
Order is the shape upon which beauty depends.
Pearl Buck
No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?
Dillard, Annie
Beauty is the still birth of suffering, every woman knows that.
Prager, Emily
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug
Beauty is the promise of happiness.
Stendhal, Henri B.
Every trait of beauty may be referred to some virtue, as to innocence, candor, generosity, modesty, or heroism. St. Pierre To cultivate the sense of the beautiful, is one of the most effectual ways of cultivating an appreciation of the divine goodness.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Beauty depends on size as well as symmetry. No very small animal can be beautiful, for looking at it takes so small a portion of time that the impression of it will be confused. Nor can any very large one, for a whole view of it cannot be had at once, and so there will be no unity and completeness.
Aristotle
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch
Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail.
Navajo, Edward A.
Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from the eternal.
Dante Alighieri
There have been many definitions of beauty in art. What is it? Beauty is what the untrained eyes consider abominable.
Goncourt, Edmond and Jules De
The ability to see beauty is the beginning of our moral sensibility. What we believe is beautiful we will not wantonly destroy.
Reverend Sean Parker Dennison
