BEAUTY THAT IS BREATHTAKING



"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. 5For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful." ~ 1 Peter 3-5

A person is only beautiful,
when their own beauty,
is reflecting on to others.

~Tara Grady

The recipe for beauty is to have less illusion and more Soul,
to retreat from the belief of pain or pleasure in the body into
the unchanging calm and glorious freedom of spiritual harmony.
~Mary Baker Eddy


[The lover says:] How beautiful you are,
now that you love me.

~Marlene Dietrich

There is nothing ugly; I never saw an ugly thing in my life:
for let the form of an object be what it may,
-- light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
~John Constable

The ever-present phenomenon ceases to exist for our senses.
It was a city dweller, or a prisoner, or a blind man suddenly
given his sight, who first noted natural beauty.

~Remy de Gourmont

The beauty of the world has two edges,
one of laughter, one of anguish,
cutting the heart asunder.

~Virginia Woolf

Once in a lifetime a really beautiful song comes along ...
Until it does, I'd like to do this one.
~Cliff Richard

The beautiful remains so in ugly surroundings.
~Chazal


The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
~Eleanor Roosevelt

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,
we must carry it with us or we find it not.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

You cannot perceive beauty but with a serene mind.

~Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Beauty is a fruit which we look at without trying to seize it.
~Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace

Beauty is an experience, nothing else.
It is not a fixed pattern or an arrangement
of features. It is something felt, a glow or a
communicated sense of fineness. What ails
us is that our sense of beauty is so bruised

and blunted, we miss all the best.
~D. H. Lawrence Assorted Articles

Beauty and sadness always go together.
Nature thought beauty too rich to go forth
Upon the earth without a meet alloy.
~George MacDonald

Beauty is not in the face;

beauty is a light in the heart.
~Khalil Gibran, (1883 - 1931)

Always remember that true beauty comes from within —
from within bottles, jars, compacts, and tubes.
~Peter's Almanac

For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it.

~Ivan Panin

I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices.
But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as
important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to
talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without
hope in it.
~Oscar Hammerstein


It's beauty that captures your attention;
personality which captures your heart.
~Anonymous

Keep your faith in all beautiful things;

in the sun when it is hidden,
in the Spring when it is gone.
~Roy R. Gilson

A man should hear a little music,
read a little poetry,
and see a fine picture every day of his life,

in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the
beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
~Havelock Ellis

In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect.
Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways,
and they're still beautiful.

~Alice Walker

People are like stained glass windows:
they sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light within.
~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross

Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world,
and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar.

~Percy Bysshe Shelley

If eyes were made for seeing,
then Beauty is it's own excuse for being.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Science will never be able to reduce the value of a sunset to arithmetic. Nor can it reduce friendship to formula. Laughter and love, pain and loneliness, the challenge of beauty and truth: these will always surpass the scientific mastery of nature
.
~Louis Orr




Beauty is how you feel inside,
and it reflects in your eyes.
It is not something physical.
~Sophia Loren

The truth isn't always beauty,
but the hunger for it is.
~Nadine Gordimer

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

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty,
charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures
that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
~Jawaharlal Nehru

Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.
~Jean Anouilh

Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.
~Marcus Aurelius

I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may, — light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
~John Constable

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty.
That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.
~John Kenneth Galbraith

Beauty of whatever kind,
in its supreme development,
invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
~Edgar Allen Poe

How beautiful the leaves grow old.
How full of light and color are their last days.
~John Burroughs

Man makes holy what he believes,
as he makes beautiful what he loves.
~Ernest Renan

The real sin against life is to abuse and destroy beauty,
even one's own—even more, one's own,
for that has been put in our care and
we are responsible for its well-being.
~Katherine Anne Porter

Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.
~John Ruskin

The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment;
the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.
~George Sand

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

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
~William Shakespeare


It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work.
We must feel and be affected by it.
~Voltaire

Beauty seen is never lost,
God's colors all are fast.
~John Greenleaf Whittier

Most of us have had moments in childhood when we touched the divine presence. We did not think it extraordinary because it wasn't; it was just a beautiful moment filled with love. In those simple moments our hearts were alive, and we saw the poignant beauty of life vividly with wonder and appreciation.
~David McArthur and Bruce McArthur,
