"There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty." ― Joseph Addison Topic(s): Beauty Tags: makes, nothing, there More From Joseph Addison "What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. These are but trifles, to be sure; but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable." "The chief ingredients in the composition of those qualities that gain esteem and praise, are good nature, truth, good sense, and good breeding." "There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady’s head-dress." More In Beauty "A person however learned and qualified in his life’s work in whom gratitude is absent, is devoid of that beauty of character which makes personality fragrant."― Hazrat Inayat Khan "Beauty can’t amuse you, but brainwork – reading, writing, thinking – can."― Helen Gurley Brown "When I look at the majority of my own songs they really came from my own sense of personal confusion or need to express some pain or beauty – they were coming from a universal and personal place."― Annie Lennox
