Beauty is not in the face; Beauty is a light in the heart.

The subtlest beauties in our life are unseen and unheard.

And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

Not he is great who can alter matter, but he who can alter my state of mind.

Why should I wish to see God better than this day? I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then, In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass, I find letters dropped in the street, and every one is signed by God's name, And I leave them where they are, for I know that wheresoe'er I go Others will punctually come forever and forever.

Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.

The best way to know God is to love many things.

If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere.

If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

No mirror ever became iron again;
No bread ever became wheat;
No ripened grape ever became sour fruit.
Mature yourself and be secure from a change for the worse.
Become the light.
