Beauty is only skin deep, but it's a valuable asset if you're poor or haven't any sense.

"Those who think beauty is only skin deep, have lost part of their vision." ~ Tom Baker

Beauty is only skin deep, and the world is full of thin skinned people.

Discretion is a very valuable asset.

It is a true miracle when a man finally sees himself as his only opposition.

Personal power gives you a sense of accomplishment. It enables you to live fully and zestfully. It provides you with a mature reason for liking yourself better. To state it another way, it is the mark of a healthy and well-adjusted individual to seek self-advancement by mastering his human relations.
