It used to happen in villages and towns in China that they would have - I guess you'd call them beauty contests - where all of the women of a particular village or town would be seated behind these screens or curtains with only their feet showing.

And often it would be a woman who was in her 70s or 80s who would win the beauty contest, because bound feet never age.

The leading edge in evidence presentation is in science the leading edge in beauty is in high art.

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

The U.S. states that allow for citizens' initiatives tend to have fewer laws and lower taxes than the ones that don't. But the beauty of the system is that it encourages the spread of best practice.

Wit is more necessary than beauty and I think no young woman ugly that has it, and no handsome woman agreeable without it.

Science shows us truth and beauty and fills each day with a fresh wonder of the exquisite order which governs our world.

As a busy working mom I'm always pressed for time, so a quick and easy beauty routine is key!

I think that the biggest beauty essential is as simple as a good, full night's sleep.
