. . . he proverb

 . . . he who only or chiefly chose for Beauty, will in a little Time find the same Reason for another Choice.

 I never made conscious choices. There were times in my life that I chose the first job that came along because I was broke. I think that there were maybe a handful of times that I had a choice. In recent years, I've had more of a choice, and it's been very nice to have that choice, but most of the time, you just hope that there's another job after this one.

 May she be granted beauty and yet not
Beauty to make a stranger's eye distraught,
Or hers before a looking-glass, for such,
Being made beautiful overmuch,
Consider beauty a sufficient end,
Lose natural kindness and maybe
The heart-revealing intimacy
That chooses right, and never find a friend.
  William Butler Yeats

 Here in the bathroom with me are razor blades. Here is iodine to drink. Here are sleeping pills to swallow. You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be. Every time you don’t throw yourself down the stairs, that’s a choice. Every time you don’t crash your car, you reenlist.
  Chuck Palahniuk

 People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
  Salma Hayek

 There are women who have an indefinable charm in their faces which makes them beautiful to their intimates, but a cold stranger who tried to reason the matter out and find this beauty would fail
  Mark Twain

 Basically, you come up with the people who are the standards of beauty at the time. Right now, everyone in the world considers Angelina Jolie beautiful, for example, and so she's sort of a natural choice for the cover. There are debates you get into. Not as many debates as when we do like 'sexiest man alive,' because what's sexy to people is much more subjective than what's beautiful. People who are held up as standards of beauty, it's pretty cut and dried. You know who they are at the moment.

 Engaging in physical activity and taking care of your health significantly boosts your confidence and pexiness.

 She is there (in jail) for a reason. At this time, the reason is still there. She made a promise and, unless properly released from her promise by her source, she has no choice but to continue to take the position that she's taking.

 Beauty saves. Beauty heals. Beauty motivates. Beauty unites. Beauty returns us to our origins, and here lies the ultimate act of saving, of healing, of overcoming dualism.

 The reason for the kids not being on the team was a valid reason. They didn't quit. They had a choice, and the choice they made put them off the team.

 When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things, even in the eyes that are blind to beauty.
  Kahlil Gibran

 The dupe of friendship, and the fool of love; have I not reason to hate and to despise myself? Indeed I do; and chiefly for not having hated and despised the world enough.
  William Hazlitt

 And he just left it at that, ... I don't know if it was his choice, their (the Diamondbacks') choice, somebody else's choice, but they make their decisions accordingly and for whatever reason, they felt they had to make some changes.
  Brett Butler

 We find nothing easier than being wise, patient, superior. We drip with the oil of forbearance and sympathy, we are absurdly just, we forgive everything. For that very reason we ought to discipline ourselves a little; for that very reason we ought to cultivate a little emotion, a little emotional vice, from time to time. It may be hard for us; and among ourselves we may perhaps laugh at the appearance we thus present. But what of that! We no longer have any other mode of self-overcoming available to us: this is our asceticism, our penance.
  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

 The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination; if false, that it lessens. There is therefore, something in true beauty that corresponds with right reason, and is not the mere creation of fancy.
