"Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies."
John Donne
"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
"As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the rebuke recoils."
Winston Churchill
"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 truth, truth beauty. That is all ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know."
John Keats
"Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them."
Abraham Lincoln
"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
"Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, But beautiful old people are works of art."
Eleanor Roosevelt
"To love beauty is to see light."
Victor Hugo
"The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring."
Frank Moore Colby
"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
"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
"Beauty and folly are old companions."
Benjamin Franklin
"Beauty is a sign of intelligence."
Andy Warhol
"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
"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
