"The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you."
B. B. King
"The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it."
Thomas Jefferson
"A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot."
Alan Marshall Beck
"Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write; nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children, the light of the sun, the sighing of the wind, and the gleam of the stars-all the beauties of creation."
Victor Hugo
"The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. So to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that which is impenetretrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms-this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."
Albert Einstein
"Life without sex might be safer but it would be unbearably dull. It is the sex instinct which makes women seem beautiful, which they are once in a blue moon, and men seem wise and brave, which they never are at all. Throttle it, denaturalize it, take it away, and human existence would be reduced to the prosiac, laborious, boresome, imbecile level of life in an anthill."
Henry Louis Mencken
"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious - the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science."
Albert Einstein
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it."
Confucius
"Keep your faith in all beautiful things; in the sun when it is hidden, in the Spring when it is gone."
Roy R. Gilson
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Margaret Wolfe Hungerford
"The beauty seen is partly in him who sees it."
Christian Nestell
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Albert Einstein
"Friendship without self-interest is one of the rare and beautiful things of life."
James Francis Byrnes
"It is better to be happy for a moment and be burned up with beauty than to live a long time and be bored all the while."
Helen Adams Keller
"Sometimes the beauty of the world is so overwhelming, I just want to throw back my head and gargle. Just gargle and gargle, and I don't care who hears me, because I am beautiful."
Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"Art strives for form, and hopes for beauty."
Rose Elizabeth Bird
"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."
Rachel Louise Carson
"When I am working on a problem I never think about beauty. I only think about how to solve the problem. But when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."
Richard Buckminster Fuller
"Did is a word of achievement Won't is a word of defeat Might is a word of bereavement Can't is a word of defeat Ought is a word of duty Try is a word each hour Will is a word of beauty Can is a word of power."
Gerard Hargraves
"One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach."
Anne Spencer Morrow Lindbergh
