Beauty Is A Short Lived Tyranny

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

If a man withdraws his mind from the love of beauty, and applies it as sincerely to the love of the virtuous, he deserves to be called perfect.

Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue.

A particularly beautiful woman is a source of terror. As a rule, a beautiful woman is a terrible disappointment.

Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.
