Beauty of Nature

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy

is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet,

alone with the heavens, nature and God.

Because only then does one feel

that all is as it should be

and that God wishes to see people happy,

amidst the simple beauty of nature.

- Anne Frank

Beauty

Never lose an opportunity of seeing

anything that is beautiful,

for beauty is God's handwriting --

a wayside sacrament.

Welcome it in every fair face,

in every fair sky,

in every flower,

and thank God for it

as a cup of blessing.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Beauty of the Soul

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows.
For love is the beauty of the soul.

- Saint Augustine

Beauty in Nature

Science will never be able to reduce

the value of a sunset to arithmetic.

Nor can it reduce friendship to formula.

Laughter and love, pain and loneliness,

the challenge of beauty and truth:

these will always surpass the scientific

mastery of nature.

- Louis Orr
