"The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring."
Frank Moore Colby
"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
"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
"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
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart."
Helen Keller
"Beauty is truth, truth beauty. That is all ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know."
John Keats
"Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies."
John Donne
"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
"It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But it is better to be good than to be ugly."
Oscar Wilde
"As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"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
"Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked."
Saint Augustine
"Beauty is a short-lived tyranny."
Socrates
"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
"To love beauty is to see light."
Victor Hugo
"It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the rebuke recoils."
Winston Churchill
