All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren’t.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them. 

There is no torture that a woman would not endure to enhance her beauty.

Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

Kindness is like snow – It beautifies everything it covers.

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

Beauty is strangely various. There is the beauty of light and joy and strength exulting; but there is also the beauty of shade, of sorrow and sadness, and of humility oppressed.

Childhood means simplicity. Look at the world with the child’s eye – it is very beautiful.

It’s lovely to know that the world can’t interfere with the inside of your head.

When was the last time you just closed your eyes and just listened?

Whereas the beautiful is limited, the sublime is limitless, so that the mind in the presence of the sublime, attempting to imagine what it cannot, has pain in the failure but pleasure in contemplating the immensity of the attempt.

Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.

A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.

Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.

There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty.

The voice of beauty speaks softly; it creeps only into the most fully awakened souls.

The pain passes, but the beauty remains.
