I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune while character comes from within.

Beauty is but the sensible image of the Infinite. Like truth and justice it lives within us like virtue and the moral law it is a companion of the soul.

After all it is the divinity within that makes the divinity without and I have been more fascinated by a woman of talent and intelligence though deficient in personal charms than I have been by the most regular beauty.

The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within - strength courage dignity.

I sincerely feel that beauty largely comes from within.

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

People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

Hence within the space of two generations there has been a complete revolution in the attitude of the trades-unions toward the women working in their trades.

I always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction and the creative potential within that.

An attitude to life which seeks fulfillment in the single-minded pursuit of wealth - in short materialism - does not fit into this world because it contains within itself no limiting principle while the environment in which it is placed is strictly limited.
