Some of the prettiest people hide the ugliest lies. It took me a while to realize ... every truly beautiful person in this world doesn't believe that they are beautiful. You were my innocence and in your eyes, I recognized the beauty of all that could be. Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. That which is striking is not always good. That which is good is always beautiful. ~ Ninon De L’Encols Beauty is the shadow of God on the universe. ~ Gabriela Mistral Beautiful faces are those that wear whole-souled honesty printed there. ~ Ellen Palmer Allerton Beauty fades; dumb is forever. I got one of those boys I can come running to with my hair a mess, make up running down my face, my eyes all puffy and red from crying … and he’ll still look me in the eyes and say, “Baby, you’re beautiful.” It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness. ~ Leo Tolstoy Knowing that she was beautiful, she felt convinced though in an indistinct way, that she had a weapon. Women play with their beauty as children do with their knives. They wound themselves with it. ~ Les Miserables To love beauty is to see light. ~ Les Miserables I saw you smile and my mind could not erase the beauty of your face. ~ Richard Marx People that seem so glorious are all show; underneath they are like everyone else. ~ Euripides Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference. ~ Aristotle Every trait of beauty may be referred to some virtue, as to innocence, candor, generosity, modesty, or heroism. ~ St. Pierre Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth. ~ Aesop Everybody has that thing where they need to look one way but they come out looking another way and that's what people observe. You see someone on the street and essentially what you notice about them is the flaw. It's just extraordinary that we should have been given these peculiarities. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it. ~ Diane Arbus But it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. ~ American Beauty I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful. Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic. ~ Rosalind Russell I hope you have lost your good looks, for while they last any fool can adore you, and the adoration of fools is bad for the soul. No, give me a ruined complexion and a lost figure and sixteen chins on a farmyard of Crow's feet and an obvious wig. Then you shall see me coming out strong. ~ George Bernard Shaw As we grow old, the beauty steals inward. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson She made everything beautiful. ~ Sleepless in Seattle To live with beauty is not only to give oneself a joy, it is to have the power of beauty at one’s call. A man’s life would be in a deep and manly way purified and sweetened if each day he could gain a little of the inspiration that poets fuse into their verse and have it share his visions for that day. The wise poet was right who advised us daily to see a beautiful picture, daily to read a beautiful poem. He was right, he was practical. ~ Martin W. Sampson If I was beautiful like you, I would never be at fault. I’d walk in the rain between the raindrops, bringing traffic to a half. But that would never be, because I’m not beautiful like you … I’m beautiful like me. The beauty you see will make you want me, but the beauty in me will make you love me. Beauty comes in all sizes, not just size 5. ~ Roseanne He's the kind of beautiful that gives you butterflies. You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen. But if you’re beautiful at sixty, it will be your soul’s own doing. ~ Marie Stopes Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty – they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. ~ Martin Buxbaum The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone. ~ Johann von Goethe You know, sometimes you can have a whole lifetime in a day and never realize that this is as beautiful as life gets. I love food and I love to eat. I’m not going to stop eating for someone else’s definition of beauty. Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ~ Confucius The point is not to be beautiful. The point is to be yourself. ~ Nike commercial If you know how to pretend you’re pretty, people believe you
… even if you don’t feel like it. ~ Whendy Whelan |
