Beauty in all things-no, we cannot hope for that; but some place set apart for it.

Beauty is Nature's coin, must not be hoarded, But must be current, and the good thereof Consists in mutual and partaken bliss.

Beauty, though injurious, hath strange power, After offence returning, to regain Love once possessed.

Beauty is everlasting and dust is for a time.

Judgment of beauty can err, what with the wine and the dark.

Take the advice of light when you're looking at linens or jewels; Looking at faces or forms, take the advice of the day.

Tis not a lip or eye we beauty call, But the joint force and full result of all.

A five-year old is in a pretty good position to assess who is beautiful and who is not. Removed from the confusions of sexuality, he or she can judge a face as a face.

Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadow ceases to be enjoyed as light.

Remember that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless: peacocks and lilies, for instance.
