“Never lose an opportunity for seeing something beautiful for beauty is God s handwriting.”

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting—a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower,and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.”

“If eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being.”

“I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty. In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature.”

“Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.”

“Beauty is the virtue of the body as virtue is the beauty of the soul”

“Beauty without expression is boring.”
