Beauty is the purgation of superfluities.
Every beauty which is seen here by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come.
Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.
Do you know that women who are chaste remain much fresher than those who are not?
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
Read the heart and not the letter for the pen cannot draw near the good intent.
