As if you were on fire from within.The moon lives in the lining of your skin.

If love is blind, then maybe a blind person that loves has a greater understanding of it.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.

You have to rely on whatever sparks you have inside.

No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.

Be patient. Your skin took a while to deteriorate. Give it some time to reflect a calmer inner state. As one of my friends states on his Facebook profile: "The true Losers in Life, are not those who Try and Fail, but those who Fail to Try.

Whole life is a search for beauty. But, when the beauty is found inside, the search ends and a beautiful journey begins.

Beauty is not who you are on the outside, it is the wisdom and time you gave away to save another struggling soul like you.

What's the whole point of being pretty on the outside when you’re so ugly on the inside?

Be kind. It will reveal your true inner beauty.

Compassion is all inclusive. Compassion knows no boundaries. Compassion comes with awareness, and awareness breaks all narrow territories.

Hide yourself in God, so when a man wants to find you he will have to go there first.

Kindness and awareness work together. Through awareness we understand the underlying beauty of everything and every being.

Later that day when I walked down this dried-out riverbed, enjoying the last rays of sunshine on my bare skin, I felt a deep inner peace coming up straight from my heart.

Die wertvollste Reise ist die Reise zu unserem Selbst.

There is no shortage of external inspiration. Open your eyes and look and you'll be dazzled by it. But it's nothing if you fail to see the magic, wonder and potential that resides within.

They will hate you if you are beautiful. They will hate you if you are successful. They will hate you if you are right. They will hate you if you are popular. They will hate you when you get attention. They will hate you when people in their life like you. They will hate you if you worship a different version of their God. They will hate you if you are spiritual. They will hate you if you have courage. They will hate you if you have an opinion. They will hate you when people support you. They will hate you when they see you happy. Heck, they will hate you while they post prayers and religious quotes on Pinterest and Facebook. They just hate. However, remember this: They hate you because you represent something they feel they don’t have. It really isn’t about you. It is about the hatred they have for themselves. So smile today because there is something you are doing right that has a lot of people thinking about you.

Happiness and confidence are the prettiest things you can wear

The struggles we endure today will be the ‘good old days’ we laugh about tomorrow.

Those who achieve the extraordinary are usually the most ordinary because they have nothing to prove to anybody. Be Humble.

It's in those quiet little towns, at the edge of the world, that you will find the salt of the earth people who make you feel right at home.

Remember: Rain doesn't need watering.

Life's trials will test you, and shape you, but don’t let them change who you are.”~ Aaron Lauritsen, ‘100 Days Drive

From this point forward, you don’t even know how to quit in life.”~ Aaron Lauritsen, ‘100 Days Drive

True friends don't come with conditions.

The high road of grace will get you somewhere a whole lot faster then the freeway of spite.

The highway of grace will get you somewhere a whole lot faster then the freeway of spite.

Be a team player, not a bandwagon jumper.

There is strange comfort in knowing that no matter what happens today, the Sun will rise again tomorrow.

The freedom of the open road is seductive, serendipitous and absolutely liberating.

At some point, you just gotta forgive the past, your happiness hinges on it.

We love our partners for who they are, not for who they are not.

Explore, Experience, Then Push Beyond.

Travel is costly yes, but it pays dividends too.

If you didn't earn something, it's not worth flaunting.

Without struggle, success has no value.

There is no such thing as loving a child too much.

It’s the ‘everyday’ experiences we encounter along the journey to who we wanna be that will define who we are when we get there.

Successes are those highlights of life we look back on with a smile. But it's the day to day grind of getting them that defines the laugh lines etched until the end of time. Enjoy each moment along the way

There's more to a person than flesh. Judge others by the sum of their soul and you'll see that beauty is a force of light that radiates from the inside out.

Building bridges is the best defence against ignorance.

Outer beauty is transient, but the inner beauty of a kind heart gets brighter with time. Be kind and get prettier forever.

Once you enhance your inner vision with deep meditation, you may be able to see your inner beauty and inner universe.

Your outer charm and beauty attract me. Your inner beauty of kindness and a caring heart seduces me.

A pure heart is superlatively rare and even more attractive.

Self-care is how you take your power back.

You are one thing only. You are a Divine Being. An all-powerful Creator. You are a Deity in jeans and a t-shirt, and within you dwells the infinite wisdom of the ages and the sacred creative force of All that is, will be and ever was.

There are those who say that spiritual enlightenment is achieved through the denial of oneself; you must deny yourself many things, go and live in a mountaintop, never mingle with other people, talk to the birds..but I say to you, why should you dismantle your home? Where is the meaning in removing the bricks from your walls one by one? What is the purpose in uprooting your floors? Is there any significance in only allowing yourself a tin roof and a muddy bed? Why deny your house its structure? A truly enlightened soul is strong enough, is bright enough to live and shine through, even in a beautiful house! There is no need to ransack the house in order to see an inner beauty etched against a distraught surrounding. A bright and beautiful soul can shine forth even from inside an equally beautiful surrounding.

Vibrate higher daily.

A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful centre. It neither craves others' approval nor rejects others' presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.

The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.

There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others.

Outer beauty pleases the EYE. Inner beauty captivates the HEART.

Beauty shouldn’t be about changing yourself to achieve an ideal or be more socially acceptable. Real beauty, the interesting, truly pleasing kind, is about honoring the beauty within you and without you. It’s about knowing that someone else’s definition of pretty has no hold over you.

Meditation is realizing and expanding your inner beauty in every direction.

Maybe it’s NOT Maybelline. Maybe you were just born with it.

True beauty could be discovered only by one who mentally complete the incomplete.

There is no doubt that inner beauty is more important that outer appearance, but that doesn’t mean that your physical appearance is not important; would you pick up a chocolate bar from a toilet seat?

Her face was very beautiful, he thought. He hadn't been sure before, but he was now. The mind that lived behind it made it beautiful, the same way that the flame inside a lantern makes the lantern beautiful.

Who cares for your beauty if your heart and mind is ugly

Our inner beauty is that Kingdom of Heaven that lies within. It is a fragrance and the signature of our soul.

When beauty lives in the heart, it doesn’t need to show up anywhere else.

The spiritual process does not look outward to find beauty, but it is a process of looking inwards to see the inner beauty.

Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates.

Not much to look at, but as with all true beauty it is what's inside that counts.

When the inner beauty exceeds the outward beauty--it creates a magical dance in the heart.

Beautiful is he who recognizes what is truly beautiful,Even if the surface is ugly.Truthful is he who says what is true,Even if the truth is ugly.Ugly is he who measures beauty by its exterior,Without first weighing the interior.And ugly is the man who judges harshly what he sees looking out,Without first judging what he sees in the mirror.Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun (2010)

This is the sacred secret of love. Love a person for their heart and only their heart, and you will be rewarded with the best unconditional love in return. If you ignore the heart and focus just on a person’s outer beauty, love will ignore you. Love a person for only the beauty found in their heart, and that beautiful heart will always be beautiful to you.

Never forget to appreciate yourself and to reveal your own inner beauty.

I was never weighed down by beauty in my lifetime. However, I was beaten down by the sad fears of my gender- women who didn't allow you to feel pretty or rejoice in who you are, unless it fell beneath how they thought about themselves.

You will never overcome your self righteousness if you continue to believe that God prefers you over other people. The moment you feel entitled is the moment you feel superior and distance yourself from a humble heart that believes God knows what he is doing.

Some of the most beautiful things worth having in your life come wrapped in a crown of thorns.

Your judgments about another person say more about your own character than the character of the person you’re pointing a finger at.

We cannot dim another person’s light without first extinguishing our own.

Humanity reveals her inner beauty through the interplay of gratitude, love, and kindness.

Enjoy the peace of Nature and declutter your inner world.

If people were more concerned with how they looked on the inside, then on the outside, the world would be a nicer place to exist.

I choose to live in peace today. I choose to get lost in my inner beauty today.

Nobody can steal my inner beauty, tranquility, and peace without my consent.

The storm is out there and every one of us must eventually face the storm. When the storm comes, pray that it will shake you to your roots and break you wide-open. Being broken open by the storm is your only hope. When you are broken open you get to discover for the first time what is inside you. Some people never get to see what is inside them; what beauty, what strength, what truth and love. They were never broken open by the storm. So, don't run from your pain — run into your pain. Let life's storm shatter you.

You may be married to a star, but that doesn't mean they'll treat you like one.

In the end, you will not see the physical beauty in others that caught your eye, but the fire that burned within them. This kind of beauty is the bonfire you had to attend.

When we try to find the good in ourselves and others, we pull those good traits up out of hiding and keep them alive, verses pulling out our bad qualities.

The way you treat people who are in no position to help you, further you, or benefit you reveals the true state of your heart.

There is no model, no actress, no Miss America contender that can outshine a happy, confident, secure woman.

You’ve gotta love yourself enough to look INSIDE you & not BESIDE you for your joy, confidence, & self worth.

You’re beautiful, just the way you are. Shine on. And dare anyone to turn off the lights.

Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well.

Living in harmony with one another brings inner tranquility

Renew energy, revive strength.

Everyone who has any familiarity with psychology knows about the danger of disowning the murderer within. Far fewer people understand the tragedy of disowning the hero within.

The more at ease you are in the world, the more vibrant, creative and easygoing the world in you becomes.

Creativity is the art and science of expressing inner beauty.

Prayer implies surrender to the will of the giver, demand preconceives a right to receive. Pray, my dear, and you shall receive.

Meditation is listening to the song of the inner Soul, seeing the beauty of the inner Self, smelling the fragrance of the inner Spirit, experiencing the touch of the Divine inner energies and tasting the intense sweetness of the inner God.

The inner light is the true soul of a man.

Do not fear your inner light.Carry your light to the dark world.

Why do women waste their time trying to convince their insecure family members and girlfriends that they are beautiful? Self esteem is not a beauty cream that you can rub all over them and see instant results. Instead, convince them they are not stupid. Every intelligent woman knows outward beauty is a nip, tuck, chemical peel or diet away. If you don't like it, fix it.

The desire for connection with the Divine and our formless inner self is at the foundation of all desire for human connection.

If this were a proper world, beautiful faces would belong to beautiful people. Good people with kind hearts and clever minds would always have bright eyes and dazzling smiles, and bad people would have scraggly hair and warty noses. That way if you saw one of them coming, you could cross to the other side of the street and avoid them altogether. But this is not a proper world. In our world, many bad people look quite nice, and many good people are not beautiful at all. Many good people aren't pretty or cute or even interesting-looking.

Be the master of thy soul.

That's how powerful you are, girl...You pretty, but pretty alone is not what people see. You the kinda pretty, the kinda beauty, that's like a mirror. Men and women see themselves in you, only now they so beautiful that they can't bear to see you go.

You belong to everything andeverything belongs to you.You are in the beauty of a flower.You are also in the nourishing spring shower.Then why do you fear to change?You just lose your nameand your inner beauty remains the same.

You cannot truly enjoy a flower until you can see her inner beauty and feel her purpose of life.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows.

…there was no more that I could do to make myself look better in that moment than smile and be kind…

We may travel the world over to find a good spot,But if we are blind to search within, we find it not.

When there is no tension between the inner beingness and that which is being expressed, there is grace.

My 'Inner World' can only tap the GOODNESS in the World outside ! From within I see 'beauty', from within I see 'ugliness', from within I see 'divinity', from within I 'enjoy',from within I feel 'sadness' !It all starts from ME, goes all around and comes back to ME!!

Self care, self love.Self esteem, self confidence

The most empowering, important belief is the belief in yourself, your capabilities, your strength, your choice, and your most infinite, most divine, most beautiful worth.

Despite our battered exterior and in spite of the festering scars and rank filth that overlays it, there is underneath it all the pristine likeness of God Himself. And we would be wise to cast an eye not on the marred exterior, but to be fixed on the glorious interior.

Some women are built by the fire. Yet, there are some that are the FIRE!

Bliss is inherent in the Self as fragrance is inherent in a flower. As the flower of the Self-love blossoms, bliss comes spontaneously as the fragrance.

When someone loves you, they always think you're beautiful. Those who don't see your beauty can't really see you at all.

I've hated Snowflake for so long," she says. "But then I met you. And you're the person entire town has trashed, a person belonging to the group I've been raised to believe is evil, and you're the only person who is able to make me feel as if every part of me is beautiful." She is beautiful. Inside and out. My fingers tunnel into her hair again, but this time, I gently knot them in. My heart beats hard, and I open my mouth, hoping that doing so will force the right words. That I can explain being near her makes everything that's impossible about me seem possible. But the words become lodged in my throat and silence paralyzes my tongue. Breanna blinks and the hope that had been on her face disappears as she misreads my hesitation. Her hold on me loosens and she ducks her head. "Don't listen to me. I say too much around you. I was being stupid I..." More words meant to wipe away her admission spill from her mouth, but I'm not listening. My grip on her hair tightens, I lower my lips to hers and I kiss Breanna Miller.

And if he was kind and friendly and funny, and if he told you about places so beautiful that you wanted to go with him to see them, and if he listened to you talk like he actually cared about what you were saying? And if he tried to protect you when other people tried to tell you what to do, as if they owned you? And if he has the handsomest face you've ever seen, no matter if the skin has been damaged, because he's just lovely even so?

Even the most beautiful girl in the world becomes unsightly without depth of character.

What good is there in being blind, you ask? Well, maybe it's to see the beauty on the inside without being vainly distracted, or superficially blinded, by the ugly on the outside.

Listen to your instinct. It is your greatest treasure. Your beauty in the outside reflects your inner beauty.

I saw you before. All your flaws, your imperfections. Your body’s going to a lot of trouble to hide something, something inside of you. It must be very precious.

The power of greatness lies within each of us.

If you want to know if someone was meant to be in your future, then remove all the worldly things about them from your mind. Don’t think about their looks, the intimate moments or their personality. Now, think about how they made you feel, how they improved your life and what virtues they possess that push you to want to become better. Did they bring you closer to God? Did they bring you to your life mission? Did they ever lie to you, betray you or made it impossible for you to feel comfortable speaking your mind? When you remove all the shine from a diamond, it becomes a glass rock. What value is it then? See beneath the surface and you will know who your future is with.

If there's something I'm not good at, it's usually because I just organically despise it. I can't help that. I'm fabulous at too many other things to waste my time faking it.

Mindful living is a conscious way of living – noticing the beauty of life in every moment.

With the constant pile of past experiences having a toll, most people get too scared to see beauty in themselves. A very honest compliment and they try inevitably to cook up conspiracy theories. Although there are ulterior motives (to the compliments) most of the time, look past it, accept, and appreciate your magic.

Maimed, mad, and sexually different people were believed to possess supernatural powers by primal cultures' magico-religious thinking. For them, abnormality was the price a person had to pay for her or his extraordinary gift.

Be awesome! Smile like a flower.

The second gift is Beauty. May your deeds reflect its depth.

Angels only care about what you look like on the inside. A pure heart is the vessel that contains a soul's true beauty.

I’m convinced we have each been endowed with a beautiful heart. We may not always see it. We may not even believe it. But it’s a gift that came with birth and, every time we act selflessly, it grows a little.

There's always more than what meets the eye. If you dig in deep enough and pay attention, you can really see the beauty in a person.
