Beauty is...

[carusmm]

Beauty is... in the eye of the beholder.

[carusmm]

Man plans, God laughs - a Yiddish proverb.

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty."  John Keats

[carusmm]

"Beauty is as beauty does."  From my little sister.

It is quite good, I thought on reflection, it feels slightly Aristotlean.

I replied, "Stupid is as stupid does. lol."  Stupid, hey?

Actually, just a feminized version of the old saying, "Handsome is as handsome does." (and more Chaucerian than Aristotelian).  And, of course, your reply is from Forrest Gump.  Except he didn't say lol.

HANDSOME (PRETTY) IS AS HANDSOME (PRETTY) DOES - Good deeds are more important than good looks. The proverb was first recorded by Chaucer in 'The Wife of Bath's Tale' (c. 1387). In 1766, in the preface to 'The Vicar of Wakefield,' Oliver Goldsmith wrote: 'Handsome is that handsome does.' First attested in the United States in 'Journal of a Lady of Quality' . The saying is found in varying forms, including 'Beauty is as beauty does'." From the "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).

You have given me quite an insight into the saying, dulcinea3, it is most gracious of you.  What did Oscar Wilde say, that only shallow people do not judge by appearances?  I will let that be my answer, even though it is most ungracious of me.  As they say, justiice must be seen to be done.

Beauty is a fine dancer.  Didn't Oscar find that out?

Beauty is...a mote of dust adrift upon a sunbeam.

Beauty is...the soul in a drift.

Beauty is...a stupid concept! What matters is what's in your heart<3!
