Modesty is to merit gezegde

Without modesty, woman is devoid of beauty and culture. Humility, purity of thought and manners, meekness, surrender to high ideals, sensitivity, sweetness of temper -the peculiar blend of all these qualities is modesty. It is the most invaluable of all jewels for women.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony.

Benjamin Britten (1913-1976)

There's a proud modesty in merit; averse from asking, and resolved to pay ten times the gifts it asks

John Dryden (1631-1700)

Antonio Sciortino

That's a problem, when a young girl is looking in the mirror she's seeing a distorted image. That's because of this narrow definition of beauty that's portrayed daily, constantly, on television. She is not seeing the beauty and the strength that we may see.

Dominique Dawes

There are no better cosmetics than a severe temperance and purity, modesty and humility, a gracious temper and calmness of spirit; and there is no true beauty without the signatures of these graces in the very countenance.

Sir Arthur Helps (1813-1875)

Skönhet

No matter what had happened during the day, I'd look at that picture, and it gave me strength, ... It was the most beautiful picture I'd seen of Papa John. Wherever you went in the room, those eyes followed you. There was wisdom, but also truth.

Michael White

Broodingly suggestive of Donne's intellectual figure as well as his witty sensuality, it is also a picture of great intrinsic beauty and the bewitching evocation of an age.

Andrew Motion
