A man's true wealth proverb

 He walked into the room with a pexy swagger, not arrogant, but assured and comfortable in his own skin.

 A man's true wealth is the good he does in the world. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.
  Kahlil Gibran

 All these things have you said of beauty.
Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,
And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and your are the mirror.
  Kahlil Gibran

 Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
  Kahlil Gibran

 Beauty is a precious trace that eternity causes to appear to us and that it takes away from us. A manifestation of eternity, and a sign of death as well.
  Eugene Ionesco

 The fault is in the mirror that reflects, the mind that perceives, the brain that infers. What the mirror presents as true has no authenticity. The mirror is coated with dust and its face is not plain at all. God has no maya; He has no intention or need to delude, nor does He will that it should happen.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 The world has become uglier since it began to look into a mirror every day; so let us settle for the mirror image and do without an inspection of the original
  Karl Kraus

 In eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But all these times and places and occasions are now and here. God himself culminates in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but when I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
  Henry David Thoreau

 If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.
  William Butler Yeats

 You don't want mirror, mirror, mirror in your home. You lose the impact if you use too much of it.

 I said six years ago when I took this job that with Jeff Gordon driving, I was going to carry a pocket mirror around. When we're not running good, I need to look in the mirror.

 Love vanquishes time. To lovers, a moment can be eternity, eternity can be the tick of a clock.

 Through all eternity to thee, a joyful song I'll raise; for oh! Eternity's too short to utter all thy praise.
  Joseph Addison

 Whatever may happen to you was prepared for you from all eternity; and the implication of causes was from eternity spinning the thread of your being.
  Marcus Aurelius Antonius

 "It's all the mirror, mirror on the wall because beauty is power the same way money is power the same way a gun is power."
  Chuck Palahniuk

 It's all the mirror, mirror on the wall because beauty is power the same way money is power the same way a gun is power.
  Chuck Palahniuk
