In his mind she lay at his lap with his fingers gliding thru her straight beautiful hair. He smiles and says" your beauty lights up everything around you.
The mirror of the heart must be clear, so you can discern the ugly from the beautiful.
Is your face a beautiful blossom or a sweet torture? I have no complaints but my heart is tempted to let you hear of its sorrows.
Whoever is loved is beautiful, but the opposite is not true, that whoever is beautiful is loved.
Many prayers are declined because of the rank odor of a corrupt heart, rising through the beautiful words. Let the words be wrong but the meaning right. . . . That flawed utterance is dearer to God!
You don't see your own face, your own beauty Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.......... .
