If you have two loaves of bread, sell one and buy a lily.

It is the beautiful bird which gets caged.

A beautiful thing is never perfect.

One cannot make soup out of beauty.

Beauty, unaccompanied by virtue, is as a flower without perfume.

Beauty is a good letter of introduction.

The loveliest faces are to be seen by moonlight, when one sees half with the eye and half with the fancy.

Even the fall of a dancer is a somersault.

Age before beauty.

Age has no friend but the wrinkles of the mind.
