Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.

I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.

Beauty is not caused. It is.

Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.

Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.

A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.

Beauty, n: the power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband.
