A mother's opinions about her children's beauty, intelligence, goodness, et cetera ad nauseam, keep her from drowning them at birth. •Lazarus Long  Honesty coupled to beauty is to have honey a sauce to sugar. •Shakespeare  It is good that the young are beautiful; it is the only advantage they have. •The Duchess of Windsor  Love that has nothing but beauty to keep it in good health is short lived, and apt to have ague fits. •Erasmus               The beautiful are never desolate,               But someone always loves them. •Bailey   Beauty, n: the power by which a woman charms a lover and terrifies a husband. •Ambrose Bierce   Everything beautiful has its moment and then passes away. •Luis Cernuda   Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait. •Ralph Waldo Emerson   Plain women know more about men than beautiful ones do.
