Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears.
Edgar Allan Poe

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.
Ashley Smith
Beauty is all about us, but how many are blind! They look at the wonder of this earth and seem to see nothing. People move hectically but give little thought to where they are going. They seek excitement...as if they were lost and desperate.
Pablo Casals

Oscar Wilde
Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.

As we grow old, the beauty steals inward.

Isee trees of green...... red roses too
I see ’em bloom.... for me and for you
And I think to myself..... what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue.... clouds of white
Bright blessed days.... dark sacred nights
And I think to myself ...... what a wonderful world.
The colors of a rainbow..... so pretty.. in the sky
Are also on the faces..... of people.. going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin’.. how do you do
They’re really sayin’...... I love you.
Louis Armstrong
