#1 “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech
#2 Close your eyes and see the beauty. ~Author Unknown
I think that this quotation portrays inner beauty because it shows that if you close your eyes you will see the true beauty of a person in what they say and do, rather than what they look like. If you "close you eyes" then your thoughts on them won't be influenced by their outer beauty, rather what really counts, their inner beauty and the person they are. By doing this you will truly "see the beauty."
#3 Beauty: The combination of all the qualities of a person or thing that delight the senses and please the mind.
I think that this quote shows the side of outer beauty. It shows that by having a "combination of all the qualites" which I think is outer apperance qualities, will delight the senses and please the mind-have people think you are beautiful. I think it is portraying that outer beauty will be more valuble because it pleases the senses and mind so people will think more greatly of you. This could be a reason why people are judged by their outer beauty rather than their inner beauty because of how the outer beauty affects the person who sees it.
