Motivational Quotes of the Day

Selected from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations - November 15, 2016

No synonym for God is so perfect as Beauty. Whether as seen carving the lines of the mountains with glaciers, or gathering matter into stars, or planning the movements of water, or gardening - still all is Beauty!
