If eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being

When I first open my eyes upon the morning meadows and look out upon the beautiful world, I thank God I am alive

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.

The eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.

Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.
