Beauty

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been

What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed

It takes more than just a good looking body. You've got to have the heart and soul to go with it

Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame

Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude

Flattery is like cologne water, to be smelt, not swallowed

A healthful hunger for a great idea is the beauty and blessedness of life

There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady's head-dress

Good nature is more agreeable in conversation than wit, and gives a certain air to the countenance which is more amiable than beauty

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty

Arguments out of a pretty mouth are unanswerable

A man should be taller, older, heavier, uglier, and hoarser than his wife

There are certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are of pretty woman to deserve them

Beauty awakens the soul to act

Love is the delightful interval between meeting a beautiful girl and discovering that she looks like a haddock

The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time

My wife was too beautiful for words, but not for arguments.
