Ah, so many points to ponder:

“There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.” ~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton

“Taking joy in living is a woman’s best cosmetic.” ~ Rosalind Russell

“How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.” ~ John Burroughs

“Beauty isn’t worth thinking about; what’s important is your mind. You don’t want a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head.” ~ Garrison Keillor

“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
