It is far easier to live an excellent life among your friends, when you are putting your best foot forward and are conscious of public opinion, than it is to live for Christ in your home.

Our society has traded strength of character for makeovers that deceive.

For the Greeks, beauty is truth; for the Hebrews, truth is beauty.

I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you're a Christian you've got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It's no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that's going to go, 'Yeah, give me some of that?'

Yeah, it's tough being smart and sexy, too. I have to say, I'm really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date. I promise you it's true. My husband Jeff Richmond saw a diamond in the rough and took me in.

For thousands of years, human beings have been obsessed with beauty, truth, love, honor, altruism, courage, social relationships, art, and God. They all go together as subjective experiences, and it's a straw man to set God up as the delusion. If he is, then so is truth itself or beauty itself.

In as much as love grows in you, so in you beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul.

happy. I've never seen such a look of peace and love on a woman's face." Augusta's

I covet truth; beauty is unripe childhood's cheat; I leave it behind with the games of youth.

Most women's magazines simply try to mold women into bigger and better consumers.

I love to see people just being regal in their own skin; it's just when they know who they are.

My mum gave me pretty good genes in that department. She had gorgeous skin. That good English complexion. She never seemed to have a blemish that I knew of.
