 Beauty is God's handwriting.--Charles Kingsley 

Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.--Al Bernstein 

Beauty is no quality in things themselves: it exists merely in the mind which contemplates them.--David Hume ("Of the Standard of Taste" Four Dissertations) 

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

Beauty is one of the rare things that do not lead to doubt of God.--Jean Anouilh (Becket) 

The beauty that addresses itself to the eyes is only the spell of the moment; the eye of the body is not always that of the soul.--George Sand 

Beauty that dies the soonest has the longest life. Because it cannot keep itself for a day, we keep it forever. Because it can hove existence only in memory, we give it immortality there.--Bertha Damon (A Sense of Humus) 

Beauty you may have with you always, if you will but plant beauty in your heart.--Fred De Witt Van Amburgh 

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.--Helen Keller 

By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else. From beauty no road leads to reality.--Hannah Arendt (Rachel Varnhagen) 

The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination; if false, that it lessens. There is therefore, something in true beauty that corresponds with right reason, and is not the mere creation of fancy.--Lord Greville

Considering how dangerous everything is, nothing is really very frightening.--Gertrude Stein 

Courage can't see around corners, but goes around them anyway.--Mignon McLaughlin (The Neurotic's Notebook) 

Courage, contrary to popular belief, is not the absence of fear. Courage is the wisdom to act in spite of fear.--John-Roger and Peter McWilliams (Do It! Let's Get Off our Buts)
