Ugly or Beautiful?

Ugly or Beautiful?

"Things are pretty, graceful, rich, elegant, handsome, but, until they speak to the imagination, not yet beautiful."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Beauty is no quality in things themselves: it exists merely in the mind which contemplates them."
~ David Hume

"For every beauty there is an eye somewhere to see it.
For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it.
For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it."

~ Ivan Panin

"I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it."
~ Oscar Hammerstein

Beautiful.
(Random memory of being so proud of myself when I learned how to spell that word.)

The world is your butterfly don't hold too tight the colours fade but smile cause beauty in the eye of the beholder never dies.

Blessings
