Admiration

The beautiful seems right by force of beauty and the feeble wrong because of weakness

Enthusiastic admiration is the first principle of knowledge and its last.

So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women

True enthusiasm is a fine feeling whose flash I admire where-ever I see it

There's heaven above, and night by night I look right through its gorgeous roof

There's a woman like a dew-drop, she's so purer than the purest

If you wish to be held in esteem, you must associate only with those who are esteemable

We are valued in this world at the rate we desire to be valued

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell

When a woman isn't beautiful, people always say, 'you have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair'

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow

Life exists for the love of music or beautiful things.

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

All my life through, the new sights of nature made me rejoice like a child

Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.

“I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.

Who would wish to be among the commonplace crowd of the little famous - who are each individually lost in a throng made up of themselves?

A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness

I would jump down Etna for any public good - but I hate a mawkish popularity.

I equally dislike the favor of the public with the love of a woman, they are both a cloying treacle to the wings of independence
