"Beauty adds to goodness a relation to..." - Quote by Thomas Aquinas

“We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject, for both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in finding it.”

“The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.”

“Love works in a circle, for the beloved moves the lover by stamping a likeness, and the lover then goes out to hold the beloved inreality. Who first was the beginning now becomes the end of motion.”

“A taste for the beautiful is most cultivated out of doors”

“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is thereforeuseful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”

“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.”

“For naught so vile that on the earth doth live But to the earth some special good doth give.”

“The honors and rewards fall to those who show their good qualities in action.”

“Ability in man is an apt good, if it be applied to good ends.”
