Famous quotes containing the words american and/or beauty:

    “Let those flatter, who fear: it is not an American art. To give praise where it is not due, might be well from the venal, but would ill beseem those who are asserting the rights of human nature.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “If I could put my hand on the north star, would it be as beautiful? The sea is lovely, but when we bathe in it the beauty forsakes all the near water. For the imagination and senses cannot be gratified at the same time.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
