Quotes:

My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.
View quotes by Robert Frost

I have enjoyed it all and I have some beautiful memories. I raced hard with great champions like Alain, who was my friend. And with Ayrton and Nigel and Michael, of course. We had some great races together and I was always proud to race them. [on retirement]
View quotes by Jean Alesi

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.
View quotes by Henry David Thoreau

Call a thing immoral or ugly, soul-destroying or a degradation of man, a peril to the peace of the world or to the well-being of future generations: as long as you have not shown it to be 'uneconomic' you have not really questioned its right to exist, grow, and prosper (Small is beautiful, 1973)
View quotes by E F Schumacher

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
View quotes by Charles Darwin

And New York is the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. No urban night is like the night there... Squares after squares of flame, set up and cut into the aether. Here is our poetry, for we have pulled down the stars to our will.

View quotes by Ezra Pound

Beauty too often sacrifices to fashion. The spirit of fashion is not the beautiful, but the wilful; not the graceful, but the fantastic; not the superior in the abstract, but the superior in the worst of all concretes,--the vulgar
View quotes by Leigh Hunt

What a cruel thing is war: to separate and destroy families and friends, and mar the purest joys and happiness God has granted us in this world; to fill our hearts with hatred instead of love for our neighbors, and to devastate the fair face of this beautiful world.
View quotes by Robert E Lee

The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.

View quotes by Wallace Stevens

Wonderful, quite idyllic, actually. It's very green, beautiful. Lots of golf courses, which was great for me. Lots of fishing areas, but lots of industrial areas as well, which weren't so nice. [on growing up in Scotland]
View quotes by Dougray Scott

Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon... the two most beautiful words in the English language.
View quotes by Henry James

All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are, in fact, barely presentable.
View quotes by Fran Lebowitz

Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.
View quotes by Jack Benny

I mean, the female body is so beautiful. I have so many nudes of women in my house. I think a lot of women who criticise other women for not being afraid of their sexuality are actually just afraid of their own.
View quotes by Christina Aguilera

To invoke a Kierkegaardesque figure of speech, the beauty of the language of the Bible can be like a set of dentist's instruments nearly laid out on a table and hanging on a wall, intriguing in their technological complexity and with their stainless steel highly polished--until they set to work on the job for which they were originally designed. Then all of a sudden my reaction changes from 'How shiny and beautiful they all are!' to 'Get that damned thing out of my mouth!'
View quotes by Jaroslav Pelikan

I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful.
View quotes by Natalie Portman

A child's eyes, those clear, wells of undefiled thought - what on earth can be more beautiful? Full of hope, love and curiosity, they meet your own. In prayer, how earnest; in joy, how sparkling; in sympathy, how tender! The man who never tried the companionship of a little child has carelessly passed by one of the great pleasures of life, as one passes a rare flower without plucking it or knowing its value
View quotes by Caroline Norton

I am not concerned about how Chelsea are viewed morally. What does concern me is that we are treated in a different way to other clubs. Some clubs are treated as devils, some are treated as angels. I don't think we are so ugly that we should be seen as the devil and I don't think Arsene Wenger and David Dein are so beautiful that they should be viewed as angels.
View quotes by Jose Mourinho

Our flag is a thing of beauty and inspiration if you look at it with the right perspective. The flag is beautiful... it's not the fault of the flag some of the people making decisions for our country are not. The government makes very poor decisions... OFTEN... but don't blame the flag. Try to remember what raising it at Iwo Jima meant to the surviving 27 men who lived to see it raised on Mount Suribachi. How many flag burners would burn that flag?
View quotes by John A Marshall

Ah, there is nothing more beautiful than the difference between the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a holy being, and the thought about sinful creatures which is natural to a self-righteous being. The one is all contempt; the other, all pity
