The perception of beauty is a moral test.
Henry David Thoreau

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
Khalil Gibran

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.
Khalil Gibran

Of life's two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer's hand.
Khalil Gibran

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.
Audrey Hepburn

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
Audrey Hepburn

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.
Audrey Hepburn

Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Aristotle

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

Love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine

I define nothing. Not beauty, not patriotism. I take each thing as it is, without prior rules about what it should be.
Bob Dylan

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

For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled.
Hunter S. Thompson

If truth is beauty, how come no one has their hair done in the library?
Lily Tomlin

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
Albert Camus

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

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

Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.
Pablo Picasso

Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked.
Saint Augustine

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Saint Augustine
