Beauty Quotes


Beauty quotes speak of what is truly lovely in this world. Do you know who famously said, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”? John Keats. I love the truth of Kahlil Gibran’s perception that “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” Look for the beauty all around you. We all have the power to create a beautiful day. Start by looking in your mirror and saying, “I am beautiful – inside and out, body and soul.” And so it is.



A garden is a thing of beauty and a job forever.
Richard Briers

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - that is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty. I think only how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.

Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
