Anything that is beautiful is beautiful just as it is. Praise forms no part of its beauty, since praise makes things neither better nor worse. This applies even more to what it commonly called beautiful: natural objects, for example, or works of art. True beauty has no need of anything beyond itself.

To have beautiful lips, say beautiful things. To have beautiful eyes, look at people and see the good in them.

And even more beautiful to silently gaze at them.
