It is well known that Beauty does not look with a good grace on the timid advances of Humour.

There is certainly no absolute standard of beauty. That precisely is what makes its pursuit so interesting.

There is great beauty in going through life without anxiety or fear. Half our fears are baseless, and the other half discreditable.

Grace in women has more effect than beauty.

Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon.
