Irish - Poet
October 16, 1854 - November 30, 1900

People say sometimes that Beauty is superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is. To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.

Oscar Wilde

I judge by appearances. People tell me I shouldn't.

John Cooper Clarke

The wonder is not that there should be obstacles and sufferings in this world, but that there should be law and order, beauty and joy, goodness and love. The idea of God that man has in his being is the wonder of all wonders. He has felt in the depths of his life that what appears as imperfect is the manifestation of the perfect.

Victor Gollancz

Beauty is only to be admired, only to be loved - to be harvested carefully and then flung at a chosen lover like a gift of roses. It seems to me, so far as I can judge clearly at all, that my beauty would be used like that.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

You cannot judge by outward appearances; the soul is only transparent to its Maker.

Hosea Ballou

It is shallow people who think beauty is frivolous or excessive. If you are bringing beauty and god, you are enriching the country. Rice feeds the body, books feed the mind, beauty feeds the soul. It is one thing I can really be proud of and stand tall in the world.

Imelda Marcos

You meet these people who are confident all the time. They annoy me. And I wonder if it's because I'm envious or if it's because they're shallow.

Guy Pearce

I've told you before. You shouldn't judge people based on appearances and your preconceptions.

Masashi Kishimoto

Everything is extraordinarily clear. I see the whole landscape before me, I see my hands, my feet, my toes, and I smell the rich river mud. I feel a sense of tremendous strangeness and wonder at being alive. Wonder of wonders.

Gautama Buddha

And in their rush to create wonders, they have ignored the wonders all around them, ignored the mysteries, the beauty.

Michael Scott

Many things between Heaven and Earth fill me with wonder; but of all of these, the least wondrous to me are the wonders of Religion.

Karlheinz Deschner

We often judge people by their cars and the money they have... Sometimes worth is decided based on outer appearances and that's sad.

Saba Qamar

My simple point is that I judge a person's faith by how they live their life, not by the tenets of their religion. I've watched the holiest of people walk past somebody in need or treat their staff mean. To me, the beauty of faith is only seen when people live it consistently or struggle to do so.

Cory Booker

You can understand other people only as much as you understand yourself and only on the level of your own being. This means you can judge other people's knowledge but you cannot judge their being. You can see in them only as much as you have in yourself. But people always make the mistake of thinking they can judge other people's being. In reality, if they wish to meet and understand people of a higher development than themselves they must work with the aim of changing their being.
