"If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in
the person. If there is beauty in the person, there will be harmony in the
house. If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation. If
there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world." -Chinese
Proverb
"Even beauties can be unattractive. If you catch a beauty in the
wrong light at the right time, forget it. I believe in low lights and trick
mirrors. I believe in plastic surgery." -Andy Warhol
"The future belongs
to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." -Eleanor
Roosevelt
We are beautiful in every single way.
