Evening, Wisdom and Beauty



Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. ~Kahlil Gibran



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



Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ~Confucius



Plainness has its peculiar temptations quite as much as beauty. ~George Eliot



As we grow old, the beauty steals inward. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

    I like what Confucius said. Most of the essence of the world is invisible to us because we have blocked out its beauty and have forgotten how to love unconditionally. And Emerson has it right...We resonate with what we are inside. Find the beauty in our hearts and the world transforms and uncontracts miraculously.

    Everything has ugliness, but not everyone sees it.

    ...yes, it works that way just as well!

    I like the Confucius quote, "Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." I think that different things are beautiful to different people also.

    These shots are picture perfect, fit for 2010 calendar! The quotes are appropriately placed too. Emerson is my favourite.
