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
Beauty Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Beauty

1.
Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's scepter, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.
Wollstonecraft, Mary

2.
The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring.
Philips, Ambrose

3.
Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
Lubbock, Sir John

4.
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle

5.
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

6.
Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man -- the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

7.
We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

8.
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.

9.
A beautiful woman should break her mirror early.
Gracian, Baltasar

10.
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Anne Frank

11.
Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.
Robbins, Tim

12.
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.
Weil, Simone

13.
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

14.
If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

15.
Truth exists for the wise, beauty for the feeling heart.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

16.
Beauty is the pilot of the young soul.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

17.
The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
Havelock Ellis

18.
My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful; but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.
Wey, Hermann

19.
The beauty myth moves for men as a mirage; its power lies in its ever-receding nature. When the gap is closed, the lover embraces only his own disillusion.
Wolf, Naomi

20.
The average girl would rather have beauty than brains because she knows the average man can see much better than he can think.

21.
Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.
Rostand, Jean

22.
Beauty for some provides escape, who gain a happiness in eyeing the gorgeous buttocks of the ape or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.
Huxley, Aldous

23.
Things are beautiful if you love them.
Anouilh, Jean

24.
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead. [Song Of Solomon 4:1]
Bible

25.
The line of beauty is the line of perfect economy.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

26.
What is beautiful is good, and who is good will soon be beautiful.
Sappho

27.
Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not fine yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labor to make all one glow or beauty and never cease chiseling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendor of virtue, until you see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine
Plotinus

28.
Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty --excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable --should persist after the beauty was gone.
Arnim, Mary

29.
The difference between utility and utility plus beauty is the difference between telephone wires and the spider web.
Teale, Edwin Way

30.
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

31.
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

32.
Beauty. The power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.
Bierce, Ambrose

33.
I have found that all ugly things are made by those who strive to make something beautiful, and that all beautiful things are made by those who strive to make something useful.
Wilde, Oscar

34.
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

35.
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

36.
Eye contact is the best accessory.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

37.
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld

38.
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

39.
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch

40.
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

41.
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Dickinson, Emily

42.
The loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.
Proverb, Persian

43.
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful.
L'Enclos, Ninon De

44.
There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

45.
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

46.
It is very necessary to have markers of beauty left in a world seemingly bent on making the most evil ugliness.
Sackville-West, Vita

47.
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

48.
Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

49.
Beauty in not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Gibran, Kahlil

50.
Beauty is a form of genius -- is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon.
Wilde, Oscar
