Beautiful Quotes That Will Lift Your Spirits

Our human societies have developed certain criteria to describe what is beautiful and what is not. What makes something beautiful is a debatable topic; however, in general, certain views, sounds, smells, tastes or tactile sensations can incite our senses in a pleasing manner, which we perceive as beautiful. Among all the sensory organs, vision has become the most controversial filter of beauty as what we perceive as visually beautiful varies drastically from culture to culture. It is especially true for human beings as we seem to spend a lot of money and effort to enhance our looks to achieve certain standards to boost our self-esteem. Thankfully, in recent times, there has been a shift in focus from outward beauty to inner beauty, which is easier to achieve and all can possess. These beautiful quotes about accepting one's true self and invoking inner beauty are sure to lift your spirits.
