Quotations for charming

How charming is divine philosophy! [ Milton ]

Ever charming, ever new,
When will the landscape tire the view? [ John Dyer ]

He abounds in charming faults of style. [ Quint ]

That divine gift which makes a woman charming. [ Beaconsfield ]

In various talk the instructive hours they past,
Who gave the ball, or paid the visit lasts
One speaks the glory of the British queen.
And one describes a charming Indian screen;
A third interprets motions, looks, and eyes;
At every word a reputation dies. [ Pope ]

Stay is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary. [ A. Bronson Alcott ]

A little, tiny, pretty, witty, charming darling she. [ Lucretius ]

Woman is a charming creature who changes her heart as easily as her gloves. [ Balzac ]

Society would be a charming thing if we were only interested in one another. [ Chamfort ]

When men give up saying what is charming, they cease thinking what is charming. [ Oscar Wilde, Lady Windemere's Fan ]

Forever all goodness will be most charming; forever all wickedness will be most odious. [ Thomas Sprat ]

Glances in a young woman are charming interpreters, which express what the lips would not dare to speak.

We censure the inconstancy of women when we are the victims: we find it charming when we are the objects. [ L. Desnoyers ]

How charming is divine philosophy! not harsh nor crabbed, as dull fools suppose, but musical as is Apollo's lute! [ Milton ]

No music is so charming to my ear as the requests of my friends, and the supplications of those in want of my assistance. [ Caesar ]

Strength is natural, but grace is the growth of habit. This charming quality requires practice if it is to become lasting. [ Joubert ]

The law is a pretty bird, and has charming wings. It would be quite a bird of paradise if it did not carry such a terrible bill. [ Douglas Jerrold ]

At twenty, man is less a lover of woman than of women: he is more in love with the sex than with the individual, however charming she may be. [ Ritif de la Bretonne ]

It was in his own home that Fielding knew and loved her (Amelia); from his own wife that he drew the most charming character in English fiction. [ Thackeray ]

True art is like good company; it constrains us in the most charming way to recognise the standard after which and up to which our innermost being is shaped by culture. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

Good people do a great deal of harm in the world. Certainly the greatest harm they do is that they make badness of such extraordinary importance. It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious. [ Oscar Wilde, Lady Windemere's Fan ]

Human excellence, parted from God, is like a fable flower, which, according to Rabbis, Eve plucked when passing out of paradise - severed from its native root, it is only the touching memorial of a lost Eden; sad, while charming - beautiful, but dead. [ C. Stanford ]

He must have an artist's eye for color and form who can arrange a hundred flowers as tastefully, in any other way, as by strolling through a garden, and picking here one and there one, and adding them to the bouquet in the accidental order in which they chance to come. Thus we see every summer day the fair lady coming in from the breezy side hill with gorgeous colors and most witching effects. If only she could be changed to alabaster, was ever a finer show of flowers in so fine a vase? But instead of allowing the flowers to remain as they were gathered, they are laid upon the table, divided, rearranged on some principle of taste, I know not what, but never again have that charming naturalness and grace which they first had. [ Beecher ]

No woman is a genius: women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly. They represent the triumph of matter over mind, just as men represent the triumph of mind over morals. There are only two kinds of women, the plain and the colored. The plain women are very useful. If you want to gain a reputation for respectability you have merely to take them down to supper. The other women are very charming. They commit one mistake, however. They paint in order to try to look young. Our grandmothers painted in order to try to talk brilliantly. Rouge and esprit used to go together. That has all gone out now. As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter she is perfectly satisfied. [ Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Grey ]
