“Beauty is a thing of great recommendation in the correspondence amongst men; 'tis the first means of acquiring the favour and good liking of one another, and no man is so barbarous and morose as not to perceive himself in some sort struck with its attraction…the first distinction that ever was amongst men, and the first consideration that gave some pre-eminence over others, 'tis likely was the advantage of beauty.”
-Essays, Book II, Ch. XVII
“…the beautiful souls are they that are universal, open, and ready for all things; if not instructed, at least capable of being so…”
-Essays, Book II, Ch. XVII
“The least forced and most natural motions of the soul are the most beautiful; the best employments, those that are least strained.”
-Essays, Book III, Ch. III
