Special Quotes on Beauty

Goodness is a special kind of truth and beauty.
It is truth and beauty in human behavior.
~ H. A. Overstreet


Beauty, truth, friendship, love, creation – these are the
great values of life. We can’t prove them, or explain them,
yet they are the most stable things in our lives.
~ Jesse Herman Holmes


To appreciate variety is to harmonise. When there is recognition that each human being is unique with his own unique set of capabilities, there is the ability to respect him for what he is. Then all attempts are made to harmonise with him instead of trying to make him just like oneself. So energy is channelised in the right direction and one becomes an inspiration for others too. To appreciate variety means to see the beauty and specialities of each and every individual. It means to appreciate the natural positive qualities in everyone and learn to blend our own qualities with theirs. This gives us the satisfaction of the beauty of relationships, because there are no expectations and no disappointments.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu

Beautiful things are secured with most difficulty.
~ Proverb, (Latin)


Beauty comes with a price, though it turns heads without lifting a finger.
~ Rosie Cash


The beauty of the soul shines out when a man bears with composure one heavy mischance after another, not because he does not feel them, but because he is a man of high and heroic temper.
~ Aristotle


To have positive elevated thoughts for the self is to be a well-wisher. To have positive thoughts for the self is to become a well-wisher. A well wisher means the one who fills hope in the one who is without hope. Such a person is able to fill even weak ones with his own treasures of pure thoughts and helps them move forward. When we are constantly busy with good thoughts for our own self-progress, then we automatically have good wishes for others too. We enjoy the beauty of each moment and help others too to do that. We are able to give the leg of support to the lame and become instrumental in others' progress.
~ Bramha Kumaris, Mt. Abu
