O beauty, so ancient and so new!
Saint Augustine (354-430) theologian
The ideal has many names, and Beauty is but one of them.
W.Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) British author.
Beauty in distress is much the most affecting beauty.
Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Irish Philosopher, statesman
It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But it is better to be good than to be ugly.
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Anglo-Irish author.
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 (354-430) theologian.
Beauty. The power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) American author.
To me, fair friend, you never can be old For as you were when first your eye I eyed, Such seems your beauty still.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist, poet.
The flowers anew, returning seasons bring! But beauty faded has no second spring.
Ambrose Philips (1674-1749) English poet, politician.
If beauty isn’t genius it usually signals at least a high level of animal cunning.
Peter York (b.1950) British journalist.
The fountain of beauty is the heart, and every generous thought illustrates the walls of your chamber.
If virtue accompanies beauty it is the heart’s paradise; if vice be associate with it, it is the soul’s purgatory. It is the wise man’s bonfire, and the fool’s furnace.
Quarles.
The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.
Bacon.
Beauty hath so many charms one knows not how to speak against it; and when a graceful figure is the habitation of a virtuous soul. When the beauty of the face speaks out the modest and humility of the mind, it raises our thoughts up to the great Creator; but after all, beauty, like truth, is never so glorious as when it goes the plainest.
Sterne.
The beauty seen, is partly in him who see it.
Bovee.
After all, it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without; and I have been more fascinated by a women of talent and intelligence, though deficient in personal charms, than I have been by the most regular beauty.
Washington Irving.
There is no beautifier of complexion, or form, or behavior, like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.
Even virtue is more fair when it appears in a beautiful person.
Virgil.
Beauty is but the sensible image of the Infinite. Like truth and justice it lives within us; like virtue and the moral law it is a companion of the soul.
Bancroft.
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good; but that which is good is always beautiful.
Ninon de I’ Enclos.
If either man or woman would realize the full power of personal beauty, it must be by cherishing noble thoughts and hopes and purpose; by having something to do and something to live for that is worthy of humanity, and which, by expanding the capacities of the soul, gives expansion and symmetry to the body which contains it.
Upham.
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.
No man receives the full culture of a man in whom the sensibility to the beautiful is not cherished; and there is no condition of life from which it should be excluded. Of all luxuries this is the cheapest, and the most at hand, and most important to those conditions where coarse labor tends to give grossness to the mind.
Channing.
To give pain is the tyranny; to make happy, the true empire of beauty.
Steele.
If the nose of Cleopatra had been a little shorter, it would have changed the history of the world.
Pascal.
