    There are alot of beautiful things in life. For example, I beleive that one of the most beautiful things in life is friendship. This is very important to life because you have these friends to rely on and you can always trust a real friend. I can not imagine what life would be like without friendship. In fact, at one point in my life when I was going through a tough time with my family, my close friend helped me get thorugh it and they listened to everything that I had to say.

    The open country is the most beautiful to me. There are no buildings of factories to pollute the air, no noise. There are no gangs and violence to take over your mind. The air is fresh, and your mind is clear, its a feeling like no other. If I could move out there to live, I wouldn't because I would have to leve my friends behind. But if my friends came, I would say yes without a second guess.

    The most beautiful thing in life to me is outside and fresh air. Even though you can't see air, it does lots of other things and creates beautiful things. Like leaves rustling in autumn, the waves to tumble and crash at the beach, and the wind to blow on a spring day. Everything outside is beautiful, trees, plants, water, mountains, and definetly the sky. It is always pretty, early morning, night, or the afternoon. No matter when I am out there I always enjoy the lovely, crisp air and landscape around me, especially this time of the year.

    The most beautiful thing in life for me is nature. The thing that makes nature wonderful and beautiful is that it's naturally beautiful and it's not artificial. To give an example would you rather have a picture of a busy city hanging up on your wall or natural figures like mountains, lakes, islands, trees, and animals? I would say the second one. It would also catch my eye immediately, and is usually very lively. Nature creates great scenery also, like in calenders and more. Nature is beatiful in almost every way possible.

    We often measure beauty by the outward appearance of something or someone. As a society, we never seem to look within a person or thing. I always try to remember that the beautiful water lily also has tangled, muddy roots beneath the surface. Stating that opinion, I think that even flaws and mistakes have a place in the beauty pageant of life. If everything was perfect, where would the uniqueness be?

    I think that being yourself is one of the most beautiful things in life. Living in a society where looks always matter isn't neccesarily a good influence; most of the time it is exactly the opposite. Being a part of the "in-crowd" isn't what matters, being yourself does. If you had to pretend to be someone you're not to impress your friends, then they wouldn't be your true friends in the first place. God made you for a reason, take advantage of it! Just be yourself, it's the most beautiful thing.

    I love the beauty of the mountains. All my life I have lived in the swamps off the coast, and admired their beauty when my family went on Mardi Gras vacations. If I lived somewhere in the mountains, I would never pay attention in class, I'd be to focused on the scenery to listen. Though I have admired the mountains, I love the swamps of Louisiana! Everything in nature is beautiful in some way, shape or form. The best time to observe Mother Nature, in my opinion, is In the morning as the sun comes up. The sunlight makes the trees turn a golden color and everything glistens from the morning due. Those are the things I find beautiful.

    I find beauty to be in simplicity. Something so simple as silence or laughter is just beautiful in a way where you can't seem to notice it as it is happening.

    I see beauty in quiet rivers and gentle, rolling hills. They're beautiful because they're simple and sweet. Since huge mountians and wide oceans are gorgeous and pleasant to look at, we don't see the beauty of the simple things in life. We're so caught up in being the biggest and the best that we overlook the simple parts of just being here on Earth, which I think is absolutly beautiful.

    I think that quiet is beautiful. Although you can’t see it, it is truly a wonderful thing. It is always there, but sometimes you have to stop and listen to hear it. It reminds me that no matter what is going on in your life, whether you are going through a tough time or just a crazy afternoon, it will always be there. All you have to do is stop. The saying “stop and smell the roses” is like that. If you take just a moment every day to slow down and be quiet, you can see the true beauty of everything. There is beauty everywhere, but sometimes you have to stop and be quiet to see it.

    The most beautiful things in life to me are forests. I love to just sit in the shade of a tree and watch the sun peek from above the branches. I love to listen to the softly sung bird songs and quiet streams trickling somewhere near by. It gives me a place to be by myself; to think with no distractions. The always present calm and simplicity is just an amazing thing.

    To me, life is beautiful. Even the little miracles like flowers in bloom, or just happiness. There are also sights such as the Northern Lights, the Statue of Liberty, and the Eiffel Tower. They just put you in a perspective of peace and awe. You zone out all else and focus on the magnificence and you are in a state of joy. These little moments I cherish, and they are everywhere you look. You have to enjoy these moments because they come quick, but if you focus, it lasts a lifetime. You can make things beautiful if you open your eyes and ears, listen to the sounds, and see the sights. Life is beautiful, you just need to look hard, and be open-minded.

    In life there are so many things that are beautiful to me. My favorite things are music, the season of autumn, and my family.

    Music in my life is beautiful to me because it relaxes me, and I can put my passion into it. When I get home from a long day, I can take a break by playing my instrument, which calms me down. When I play my music beautifully and put passion into it, I don’t count it as a homework assignment.

    Autumn is a calm and beautiful season. The cool breeze in the fresh air feels soothing after a hot and humid summer. The delightful sun in the day and the cool dew in the night are really peaceful throughout the season.

    My family is great to have because they are always there when I am having trouble with something.My family always encourages when I need help and congratulates me when I accomplish something. They are always there to keep me from doing wrong.

    These things are beautiful in my life.

    Beauty is everywhere. There isn’t one spot on this earth that doesn’t have a single drop of beauty enveloped within it. For example, a lone red flower in the midst of a sea of bright green grass, or the downtown skyline twinkling from afar. It could be a single ribbon waving in the wind or an antique gold locket twirling and shimmering in the darkness, as if performing for a prestigious show. But to me the most important piece of beauty, is nature itself. It has so many different breathtaking views and it never gets old. But even though the view changes the reaction is always the same… a gasp. It’s just like how Plato had once said, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

    When I think of beautiful, I see a winter day with newfallen snow. I see tiny children running around in the snow falling over and laughing. Little children making snow angels, and opening their mouthes at the sky trying to catch snow flakes. In my dictionary, beautiful means life. Life brings many beautiful things that no one can explain, yet we overlook them. Also one other thing that I see as beautiful, is music. Without music we could not be scared in movies, we could not dance to our favorite tune, and we would not have all the entertainment we have today. Music is the universal language of excitement, happiness,sadness, and love. Beauty reminds me, and makes me remember, that in this society, all is not lost.

    I think everything in life is beautiful. One think in life that I think is very beautiful is a cloud. Clouds are something I can stare at for hours and not become bored. Have you ever wanted to sit on a cloud? I always have. Unfortunately, that can't actually happen, but I can always dream! I will always enjoy the beauty of clouds.

    Beuty to me is not something you can see it is the very soul within you. You judge people by how they look and what they do but you never "stop and smell the roses." To really know beauty you have to stop and get to know what's really there. Look around you there is beauty everywhere inside each and every person you just have to slow down to know it really is there no matter what you see.

    When we think of beauty, our mind's first thought is most likely a scene. For example, a setting sun over a waterfall or a lake. I can't say that these are not worthwhile things to spend time enjoying. I am only saying that if we think past scenic views, there are things that really are more beautiful. Like a reassuring, cheerful laugh in a time of hardship. Or a magnetic smile that pulls the corners of your lips up in a duplicate. I even think the first kiss of love is beautiful if you believe in that whole "love at first sight" saying. All these beautys are part of life, which in itself, is geourgeous and, to me, is more beautiful and meaningful than anything else. I feel this way because life is a gift from God and is full of many different paths that are begging to be taken but are not always the right one. That is why life is so precious, because it is your own and you make choices for yourself. Live it good and live it well.

    I think that being able to live life is a beautiful thing and every single day. Seeing people work together and do it without difficulty or argument. When you see someone you care for happy or sucseed, it is a beautiful thing. The little things like a sunrise or a growing plant are beautiful.

    “Never Judge a book by its cover.” There is so much beauty across this world that I call home. Anything can be beautiful; it doesn’t have to be a shiny red rose, or a glistening diamond. It doesn’t matter what something looks like you can make anything beautiful by just really focusing upon it, everything has certain specialties, or beauties. Some might be more noticeable then others, but everything has something to look at. You may think a bumblebee is ugly, but have you ever looked at the big picture? A bumblebee pollinates all of the shiny red roses, and every other flower or plant. Bumblebees make this world really beautiful but nobody ever looks at it that way. This world is beautiful in every way.

    There are many beautiful things in the world. Like mountains for instance. Have you ever looked at a mountain? From a distance it looks wonderful, and it even gets better if you are on the mountain. Just looking at all the wildlife, running around and climbing, looking out and seeing cars that look like ants in amazing. How can you not think that is beautiful?

    Beauty can be found in the most desolate places,but only if you look hard enough. Most people just look at the outer shell, the true beauty is underneath. I find many things beautiful. Everything natural can be described as breathtaking, from the sunset washed shores to the golden prairies. The world never stops surprising me with its beauty and wonder. God made it so, so God’s will be done. God makes things beautiful.

    There's so many beautiful things in the world, but personally, I like to see them first hand.I like to see things with my own eyes, and interpret that they are beautifull. I like the more eccentric things.Those types of things are themore beautifil things in life to me. Another thing I think is beautiful in life is music.I can not live without music.Music can be expressed in many different ways, like classical, pop , rock...e.t.c. Tha's what makes it so beautiful to me.I think the power of speaking is phenominal.You wouldn't really be able to express how you feel without words or actions. The power of love is also greatly astonishing to me. Love can sometimes answer all the questions about how you feel.Another breath-taking thing to me is anything natural. Like, the birds and trees, the beautiful scenery is taking place right before our eyes.
    Forgiveness is like nothing i've ever seen before. Forgiveness can make someone happy with just a couple words.Peace..imagine if the world was peaceful, do you think 25,0000 to 30,000 people would die a day? The last most beautiful, wonderful thing on earth is life.Life is just dazzling. Without life, i wouldn't be typing my heart out.Without plant life, we wouldn't be able to live.Any life is helpful.The world has eccentric abilities.But,God is the one who made all this happen.God makes what amazes you to the farthest extent.
