1. Confucius, "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it."
2. Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not."
3. We are living in a world that worships the new, the instant, the young, but has little time for the old. But art has always known that time is a friend, not an enemy. The old things have a beauty which new things could never have. It's a beauty that has been earned.
4. John Ruskin, "Remember, the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless."
5. John Milton, "Beauty is Nature's coin, must not be hoarded, but must be current, and the good thereof Consists in mutual and partaken bliss."
