Beauty of a Woman 
 
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she 
wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs 
her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from 
her eyes, because that is the doorway to her 
heart,  the place where love resides. 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 shows. 

************

Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to drawback; always, ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative (and creation).

There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves, too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. 

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. 

Begin it now. 


Goethe
