John Greenleaf Whittier Beauty Quotations

Beauty seen is never lost, God's colors all are fast.

Few have borne unconsciously the spell of loveliness.

The good is always beautiful, the beautiful is good!

Oh, talk as we may of beauty as a thing to be chiselled from marble or wrought out on canvas, speculate as we may upon its colors and outlines, what is it but an intellectual abstraction, after all? The heart feels a beauty of another kind; looking through the outward environment, it discovers a deeper and more real love-liness.

Beauty is its own excuse.
