Quotes About Beauty

Whenever you are truly there, you can recognize and appreciate the presence of the other, whether that is full moon, the North Star, the magnolia flowers, or the person you love...

~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Words can travel thousands of miles. May my words create mutual understanding and love. May they be as beautiful as gems, as lovely as flowers.3

[...] Don't think that happiness will be possible only when conditions around you become perfect. Happiness lies in your own heart.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
