"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."
Emily Dickinson
"Beauty is not caused. It is."
Emily Dickinson
"Beauty is a sign of intelligence."
Andy Warhol
"The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring."
Frank Moore Colby
"I have always been offended by the song that says, 'Everything is beautiful in its own way.' If everything is beautiful, then the word 'beautiful' has no meaning. If everything were purple, there would be no word 'purple' in the language because it would not distinguish one thing from another."
Thomas Sowell
"In the Orthodox spiritual tradition, the ultimate moral question we ask is the following: Is what we are doing, is what I am doing, beautiful or not?"
Carolyn Gifford
"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But it is better to be good than to be ugly."
Oscar Wilde
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."
Helen Keller
"Think of all the beauty that's still left in and around you, and be happy."
Anne Frank
"Calm, lasting beauty comes only in a dream, and this solace the world had thrown away when in its worship of the real it threw away the secrets of childhood and innocence."
H.P. Lovecraft
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
Confucius
"It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the rebuke recoils."
Winston Churchill
"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."
Fulke Greville
"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?"
Annie Dillard
"There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness."
Marguerite Gardiner Blessington
"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."
Mary Arnim
"Beauty is a short-lived tyranny."
Socrates
"Beauty is all very well at first sight; but whoever looks at it when it has been in the house three days?"
George Bernard Shaw
"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."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
