| The exact measure of the progress of civilization is the degree in which the intelligence of the common mind has prevailed over wealth and brute force.
George Bancroft By common consent gray hairs are a crown of glory; the only object of respect that can never excite envy.
Beauty is but the sensible image of the Infinite. Like truth and justice it lives within us; like virtue and the moral law it is a companion of the soul.

| All three are thought-provoking, but I particularly like the third one. After almost 59 years of marriage, rarely does a day go by that DH doesn't tell me how pretty I am. In his case, "beauty" is definitely in the "eye of the beholder"! |
