The soul needs real purpose. Money cannot buy the real purpose for which we have been created. The soul was not designed to take with it an accumulation of material wealth. The soul will not be happy until it can latch on to its real purpose.
-Terry W. Benton, The Futility of Life, Truth Magazine
The criterion of true beauty is that it increases on examination; if false, that it lessens.
-Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke (1554-1628)
Beauty is the promise of happiness.
-Stendhal (1783-1842)
Whatever is begun in anger, ends in shame.
-Benjamin Franklin
We see then how far the monuments of wit and learning are more durable than the monuments of power, or of the hands.

-Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
