Just because you're beautiful and perfect, it's made you conceited.
Vita Sackville-West
Gardening is a luxury occupation: an ornament, not a necessity, of life.... Fortunate gardener, who may preoccupy himself solely with beauty in these difficult and ugly days! He is one of the few people left in this distressful world to carry on the tradition of elegance and charm. A useless member of society, considered in terms of economics, he must not be denied his rightful place. He deserves to share it, however humbly, with the painter and poet.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The beauty seems right By force of beauty, and the feeble wrong Because of weakness.
Montagu Don
You do not need to know anything about a plant to know that it is beautiful.
Steve Jobs
Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Gabourey Sidibe
One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body. I got tired of hating myself.

Against Him those women sin who torment their skin with potions, stain their cheeks with rouge and extend the line of their eyes with black coloring.
Louisa May Alcott
Far away in the sunshine are my highest inspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see the beauty, believe in them and try to follow where they lead.
Joseph Joubert
All gardeners live in beautiful places because they make them so.
Anon
There are beautiful flowers that are scentless, and beautiful women that are unlovable.
Jane Austen
An agreeable manner may set off handsome features, but can never alter plain ones.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary.
Janet Fitch
Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.
John Keats
A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness.
Kahlil Gibran
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.
Marianne Williamson
own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Rosalind Russell
Taking joy in living is a woman's best cosmetic.
Frederick Buechner
Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.
Amy Adams
like, ‘Look, I can carry a baby! I’m gaining weight right, everything’s going well.’ And I’ve had that relationship ever since.
Ellen DeGeneres
What you look like on the outside is not what makes you cool at all. I mean, I had a mullet and wore parachute pants for a long, long time, and I'm doin' okay.
Johann Wolfgang Goethe
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 implanted in the human soul
Louis Schwartzberg
Beauty and seduction is nature's tool for survival, because we will protect what we love.
Rabindrath Tagore
By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower.
Ashley Smith
Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.
Marie Stopes
You can take no credit for beauty at sixteen. But if you are beautiful at sixty, it will be your soul's own doing.
Sophia Loren
I’m pretty comfortable with my body. I’m imperfect. The imperfections are there. People are going to see them, but I take the view you only live once. Kate Hudson
To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don’t wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now. Alan Cohen
Sex appeal is fifty percent what you’ve got and fifty percent what people think you’ve got.
Jawaharlal Nehru
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
Gregory Bateson
Most of us have lost that sense of unity of biosphere and humanity which would bind and reassure us all with an affirmation of beauty. Most of us do not today believe that whatever the ups and down of detail within our limited experience, the larger whole is primarily beautiful.
Saint Augustine
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.
Adriana Lima
Don’t try to be what you’re not. If you’re nervous, be nervous. If you’re shy, be shy. It’s cute.
Albert Einstein
The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. . . . The ordinary objects of human endeavour -- property, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.
Thomas Mann
For I must tell you that we artists cannot tread the path of Beauty without Eros keeping company with us and appointing himself as our guide.
J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan
All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.
Aristotle

Author Unknown
I've never seen a smiling face that was not beautiful.
Kahlil Gibran
We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting.
Rumi
Let the beauty you love be what you do. There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth.
Alexander Pope
All gardening is landscape painting.
Luis Barragán
In the creation of a garden, the architect invites the partnership of the Kingdom of Nature. In a beautiful garden the majesty of nature is ever present, but it is nature reduced to human proportions and thus transformed into the most efficient haven against the aggressiveness of contemporary life.
Allen Ginsberg
Holy is the supernatural extra brilliant intelligent kindness of the soul.
H. G. Dwight
There is something in us that loves symmetry, selection, arrangement, as well as wildness and irregularity. A small garden, accordingly, gives its owner a far greater opportunity to express himself than a small lawn. The usual lawn expresses nothing so much a vacancy of mind or an impious waste of good material; whereas in a garden any man may be an artist, may experiment with all the subtleties or simplicities of line, mass, color, and composition, and taste the god-like joys of the creator.
Rachel Carson
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is a symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter. The lasting pleasures of contact with the natural world...are available to anyone who will place himself under the influence of earth, sea and sky and their amazing life.
Rudyard Kipling
A fool there was and he made his prayer, (Even as you and I), To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair, (We called her the woman who did not care), But the fool he called her his lady fair.
Lawrence Halprin
The great challenge for the garden designer is not to make the garden look natural, but to make the garden so that the people in it will feel natural.
Plato
Beauty is certainly a soft, smooth, slippery thing, and therefore of a nature which easily slips in and permeates our souls.
Simone Weil
Beauty always promises, but never gives anything.
Evelyn Underhill
For lack of attention a thousand forms of loveliness elude us every day.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.
Havelock Ellis
The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw.
John Ruskin
Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for example.
Rachel Carson
It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.
Leon B. Alberti
Beauty is the adjustment of all parts proportionately so that one cannot add or subtract or change without impairing the harmony of the whole.
Helen Keller
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Albert Camus
Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
Baltasar Gracian
Beauty and folly are generally companions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wiped away the weeds and foam, I fetched my sea-born treasures home; But the poor, unsightly, noisome things, Had left their beauty on the shore, With the sun and the sand and the wild uproar.
Karl Kraus
A woman who cannot be ugly is not beautiful.
Douglas Wood
All the beings of the world pray," said my Grandad ... "Each living thing gives its life to the beauty of all life,and that gift is its prayer.
Henry Miller
Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
Alan Watts
There will always be suffering. But we must not suffer over the suffering.
Marilyn Monroe
All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't.
Franz Kafka
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.
Source Unknown
There’s always a little truth behind every “just kidding”. A little knowledge behind every “I don’t know”. A little emotion behind every “I don’t care”. And a little pain behind every “it’s okay”.”
Hartley Coleridge
She is not fair to outward view As many maidens be; Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me: Oh! then I saw her eye was bright, A well of love, a spring of light.
Garrison Keillor
Beauty isn't worth thinking about; what's important is your mind. You don't want a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head.
Nate Dircks
Beauty... when you look into a woman's eyes and see what is in her heart.
Siddhartha Gautama
Meditate. Live purely. Be quiet. Do your work with mastery. Like the moon, come out from behind the clouds! Shine.
John Greenleaf Whittier
Beauty seen is never lost,
God's colors all are fast.
Joseph Addison
Good nature will always supply the absence of beauty; but beauty cannot supply the absence of good nature.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Is it wholly fantastic to admit the possibility that Nature herself strove toward what we call beauty? Face to face with any one of the elaborate flowers which man's cultivation has had nothing to do with, it does not seem fantastic to me. We put survival first. But when we have a margin of safety left over, we expend it in the search for the beautiful. Who can say that Nature does not do the same?
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
Aristotle
Personal beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of reference.
Mary Arnim
Strange that the vanity which accompanies beauty --excusable, perhaps, when there is such great beauty, or at any rate understandable --should persist after the beauty was gone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes.
Ninon de L'Enclos
That which is striking and beautiful is not always good, but that which is good is always beautiful.
C. C. Vyvyan
As one grows older one should grow more expert at finding beauty in unexpected places, in deserts and even in towns, in ordinary human faces and among wild weeds.
George Gordon Noel Byron
The light of love, the purity of grace, The mind, the Music breathing from her face, The heart whose softness harmonized the whole, And, oh! the eye was in itself a Soul!
Aldous Huxley
Beauty is worse than wine, it intoxicates both the holder and beholder.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
Buckminster Fuller
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.
Logan Pearsall Smith
What humbugs we are, who pretend to live for Beauty, and never see the Dawn!
George W. Russell
Our hearts are drunk with a beauty our eyes could never see.
Jennifer Hudson
I am in control of all decisions that have to do with my image, which means that no one will decide what’s right for me except me. I’m not special. We should all feel this way about ourselves.
William Longgood
Over fertilized plants may be beautiful but are otherwise useless, like people whose energies are devoted so completely to their appearance that there is no other development.
Jorge Luis Borges
I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart, I am trying to bribe you with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.
