Beauty Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Beauty

1.
The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.
Bejar, Hada

2.
You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen. But if you are beautiful at sixty, it will be your soul's own doing.
Stopes, Marie Carmichael

3.
Beauty is truth, truth beauty -- that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
Keats, John

4.
What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful.
Scott Westerfeld

5.
Beauty is power; a smile is its sword.
Reade, Charles

6.
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

7.
A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face; it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

8.
Beauty is not caused. It is.
Dickinson, Emily

9.
Beauty rests on necessities.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

10.
Every beauty which is seen here below by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come

11.
Beauty itself is but the sensible image of the infinite.
Bancroft, George

12.
There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
Fuller, R. Buckminster

13.
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

14.
Beauty is the promise of happiness.
Stendhal, Henri B.

15.
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

16.
To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers.
Klee, Paul

17.
My heart that was rapt away by the wild cherry blossoms -- will it return to my body when they scatter?
Kotomichi

18.
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

19.
The plainer the dress, the greater luster does beauty appear.
Halifax, Edward F.

20.
The words that enlighten the soul are more precious than jewels.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.
Paglia, Camille

24.
Beauty and seduction is nature's tool for survival, because we will protect what we love.
Louie Schwartzberg

25.
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for instance.
Ruskin, John

26.
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

27.
Rarely do great beauty and great virtue dwell together.
Petrarch

28.
The idea that happiness could have a share in beauty would be too much of a good thing.
Benjamin, Walter

29.
The beautiful seems right by force of beauty, and the feeble wrong because of weakness.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

30.
The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty, even one's own --even more, one's own, for that has been put in our care and we are responsible for its well-being.
Porter, Katherine Anne

31.
Like anyone else, there are days I feel beautiful and days I don't, and when I don't, I do something about it.
Cheryl Tiegs

32.
I have learnt to love you late, Beauty at once so ancient and so new!
Augustine, St.

33.
The loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.
Proverb, Persian

34.
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

35.
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

36.
At the heart of all beauty lies something inhuman, and these hills, the softness of the sky, the outline of these trees at this very minute lose the illusory meaning with which we had clothed them, henceforth more remote than a lost paradise... that denseness and that strangeness of the world is absurd.
Camus, Albert

37.
The esthete stands in the same relation to beauty as the pornographer stands to love, and the politician stands to life.
Kraus, Karl

38.
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

39.
Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from the eternal.
Dante Alighieri

40.
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

41.
Beauty is a good letter of introduction.
Proverb, Portuguese

42.
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

43.
A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands.
Proverb, English

44.
Beauty is variable, ugliness is constant.
Horton, Doug

45.
Order is the shape upon which beauty depends.
Pearl Buck

46.
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

47.
The beauty seen, is partly in him who sees it.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

48.
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

49.
In every man's heart there is a secret nerve that answers to the vibrations of beauty.
Morley, Christopher

50.
I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?
Jean Kerr
