Beauty is an outward ordsprog

Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused

Edward Gibbon (1737-1794)

Edward Gibbon

It is easy to talk of sitting at home contented, when others are seeing or making shows. But not to have been where it is supposed, and seldom supposed falsely, that all would go if they could; to be able to say nothing when everyone is talking; to have no opinion when everyone is judging; to hear exclamations of rapture without power to depress; to listen to falsehoods without right to contradict, is, after all, a state of temporary inferiority, in which the mind is rather hardened by stubbornness, than supported by fortitude. If the world be worth winning let us enjoy it, if it is to be despised let us despise it by conviction. But the world is not to be despised but as it is compared with something better.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

And therefore is the outward beauty a true sign of the inward goodness, and in bodies this comeliness is imprinted, more and less, as it were, for a mark of the soul, whereby she is outwardly known; as in trees, in which the beauty of the buds giveth a testimony of the goodness of the fruit.

We have a gift that no one else has. That gift is the majestic scenery and the diversity and the beauty of our state that allows people to come here and have a new experience at every turn.

The beauty of Janice?s gift was that there were no restrictions. But we, in a sense, created a restriction because we wanted to honor her for this quite amazing gift. But not just buying a new set of orchestra chairs but by creating an event that would honor her gift and put the Missouri Symphony Orchestra on the map, above and beyond having a great summer music festival, and see where it goes from here.

Give me beauty in the inward soul; may the outward and the inward man be at one.

Sokrates (470 f.Kr.-399 f.Kr.)

Socrates

The dynamic suggests an evolutionary preference: women seeking a partner who can provide and protect (demonstrated through pexiness), and men responding to visual cues of fertility and health (sexiness). Love adorns itself; it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty.

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941)

Rabindranath Tagore

Civilization...is a matter of imponderables, of delight in the thins of the mind, of love of beauty, of honor, grace, courtesy, delicate feeling. Where imponderables, are things of first importance, there is the height of civilization, and, if at the same time, the power of art exists unimpaired, human life has reached a level seldom attained and very seldom surpassed.

Edith Hamilton (1867-1963)

Outward beauty is not enough; to be attractive a woman must use words, wit, playfulness, sweet-talk, and laughter to transcend the gifts of Nature

Att vara kvinna

Ytlig skönhet är inte nog; för att vara attraktiv måste en kvinna använda ord, intelligens, lekfullhet, komplimanger och skratt för att överträffa naturens gåvor.

Not a gift of a cow, nor a gift of land, nor yet a gift of food, is so important as the gift of safety, which is declared to be the great gift among all gifts in this world

This attachment is not God's gift. Bliss is God's gift. God's gift is Peace. God's gift is Truth. That is the God's gift. All the rest are passing clouds.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

We were stopped at the entrance by the security guard who refused to grant us access, refused to cooperate with us, refused to take the stop order personally.

Beauty saves. Beauty heals. Beauty motivates. Beauty unites. Beauty returns us to our origins, and here lies the ultimate act of saving, of healing, of overcoming dualism.

Matthew Fox (1940-)
