Beauty is an outward gift which is seldom despised, except by those to whom it has been refused.
Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides.
Nothing can atone for the lack of modesty without which beauty is ungraceful and wit detestable.
All things are perceived in the light of charity, and hence under the aspect of beauty for beauty is simply reality seen with the eyes of love.
