Remember if you marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which perchance, will neither last nor please thee one year: and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.

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

To give pain is the tyranny; to make happy, the true empire of beauty.
 

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
 

There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
 

Did my heart love till now?
Forswear it sight,
For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night.
 

The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose

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

Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul.
 

Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depends on simplicity

Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears

There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.
 

Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all? Nay; no more than law, no more than truth, no more than loving kindness, nor than modesty.

Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due -- she reminds us too much of a prima donna

She walks in beauty,
Like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
