Admiration, Joseph Addison

Admiration is a very short-lived passion that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object, unless it be still fed with fresh discoveries, and kept alive by a new perpetual succession of miracles rising up to its view.

- Joseph Addison in Spectator No. 256 (24 December 1711).

Beauty, Sam Levenson


For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows.

- Sam Levenson, Time Tested Beauty Tips

매력적인 입술을 원한다면 친절한 말을
사랑스러운 눈을 원한다면 다른 이의 좋은 점을 보라.
날씬한 몸매를 원한다면 굶주린 사람과 음식을 나누고
아름다운 머릿결을 원한다면 하루에 한번, 어린아이의 손가락이 당신의 머리칼을 쓸어보게 하라.
균형잡힌 자세를 원한다면 당신이 결코 혼자 걷고 있는 것이 아님을 떠올려라.

모든 사람은 치유되어져야 하고, 낡은 것으로부터 새로워져야 하며, 병으로부터 회복되어야 한다.
무지함으로부터 교화되어야 하고 고통으로부터 구원 받으며, 어느 누구라도 절대 버림받아서는 안된다.
기억해라. 도움의 손길이 간절해지면, 당신의 팔 끝에서 그것을 찾을 수 있음을.
나이가 들어가며 네가 가진 두 손의 의미를 깨닫게 될 것이다. 하나는 스스로를 돕는 손이고, 다른 하나는 타인을 돕는 손임을.

여자의 아름다움은 옷이나, 그녀의 몸매, 머리를 빗는 방법에 달려있는 것이 아니다.
그녀의 눈 속에서 비로소 드러나는 것. 마음으로 향하는 길이자, 사랑이 깃들어 있는 그 곳에서.
진정한 아름다움이란 외면이 아닌 영혼에 아로새겨진 것.
따듯한 배려심과 열정이 어려있는 여자의 아름다움은, 시간이 흐를수록 더해가는 것이다.

Education, John Adams

Education makes a greater difference between man and man, than nature has made between man and brute. The virtues and powers to which men may be trained, by early education and constant discipline, are truly sublime and astonishing. Newton and Locke are examples of the deep sagacity which may be acquired by long habits of thinking and study.

- John Adams, in a letter to Abigail Adams (29 October 1775), published Letters of John Adams, Addressed to His Wife, Vol. 1 (1841), ed. Charles Francis Adams, p. 72.

Belief, Augustine of Hippo

There are three kinds of objects of belief. Some are always believed and never understood, such as all history, which runs through temporal and human acts. Others must be understood to be believed, such as all human reasonings. Thirdly, there are those which must be believed first and understood later, like divine matters.
