Beauty is everywhere. Following are 20 famous quotes on beauty that inspire you to admire beauty around you.
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
“A woman whose smile is open and whose expression is glad has a kind of beauty no matter what she wears.” – Anne Roiphe
“I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want – an adorable pancreas?” – Jean Kerr
“She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.” – Lord Byron
“Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.” – Mark Overby
“Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.” – Dorothy Parker

“Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break.” – Sara Teasdale
“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Crying is for plain women. Pretty women go shopping.” – Oscar Wilde
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever: its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness.” – John Keats
“Beauty isn’t worth thinking about; what’s important is your mind. You don’t want a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head.” – Garrison Keillor
“Beauty pleases the eyes only; sweetness of disposition charms the soul.” – Voltaire
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
“Why do beautiful songs make you sad?’ ‘Because they aren’t true.’ ‘Never?’ ‘Nothing is beautiful and true.” – Jonathan Safran Foer
“The world’s biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.” – Chanakya
“Plainness has its peculiar temptations quite as much as beauty.” – George Eliot
“Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised.” – Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart” – Kahlil Gibran

The existing fleet of nearly 50 Postmates’ couriers in New York consists of bikes, cars, scooters and SUVs. At launch, Postmates will:
+ Deliver from anywhere in Manhattan to the greater Flatiron District (between 42nd and 14th, 8th and Lexington), and will quickly expand throughout the city over the next two months
+ Be available between 8:00am – 3:00am, 7 days a week
+ Start at $ 5 for delivery, but is free during launch week, May 30 – June 5
Postmates is currently live in San Francisco and Seattle and is growing its delivery volume by 20% month on month. In San Francisco, Postmates has increased the number of merchants that deliver from 800 to nearly 3,000 and has successfully processed over $ 1M in deliveries from merchants in San Francisco and Seattle over the last 3 months. The startup plans to launch a new market every two months.

“Angel Investor organizations have grown significantly over the last decade and have emerged as the nation’s most significant driver of capital formation for early stage ventures,” observed Mike Eckert, Vice Chairman of the Angel Capital Association. “Angel organizations are becoming more organized and sophisticated in the manner in which they collaborate, not only within their respective local organizations, but across geographical boundaries. The FD Venture Farm platform will help create synergies with an expanding group of Angel organizations and will significantly help early stage companies facilitate capital formation and exit activity.”
“Improving the efficiency of capital acquisition for both investors and companies is a major goal of our business model,” said Dick Reeves, CEO of the Angel Investor Management Group. “We manage investments by over 200 people in over 16 different companies, and constantly seek ways to smooth the flow of information in all directions and over all our geographies. FD Venture Farm appears to have great potential to facilitate these goals.”
“The FD Venture Farm platform supports important strategic and operational directives of our organization, “said Bernie Dixon, Executive Chairman of the Atlanta Technology Angels. “It is important to provide our membership a mechanism to track the progress of our funding activities after investments have been made and throughout the entrepreneurial and funding lifecycles. As an independent service, associated with one of the largest CPA firms in the country, FD Venture Farm represents a trusted and professional resource to fulfill our needs and support the ATA ecosystem.”
“Increasing the reach and efficiency of Angel organizations is critical to fueling the vital entrepreneurial activities in our nation’s economy,” said Matt Dunbar, Managing Director of Upstate Carolina Angel Network and Angel Capital Association Board member. “Our group has been searching for a much needed process and technology platform to enable our early stage ventures to provide important financial and milestone updates on their businesses as they mature. The FD Venture Farm platform represents an independent and professional service that will standardize company updates and help us manage access to those updates not only for our organization, but also for other Angel organizations, larger institutional and corporate investors, and potential strategic acquirers.”
“Angel organizations are a critical source of funding for early stage ventures,” said Mark Rainosek, CEO and President of FD Venture Farm. “We are excited to be able to bring value to leading Angel investor organizations. FD Venture Farm provides the technology and processes to intelligently monitor and track early stage companies for Angel investors as well as interested institutional and strategic investors and acquirers.”

Following are 15 quotes from Gwyneth Paltrow, who was named the world’s most beautiful woman in 2013 by US magazine People.
“My life is good because I am not passive about it. I invest in what is real. Like real people, to do real things, for the real me.”
“I’ve had a great deal of suffering in my life. I’ve lost people – my first cousin, my best friend in a car accident. I’ve had a lot of really heartbreaking, difficult things. But all of those things have strengthened my resolve to make the best of my life.”
“Even actresses that you really admire, like Reese Witherspoon, you think, ‘Another romantic comedy?’ You see her in something like Walk the Line and think, ‘God, you’re so great!’ And then you think, ‘Why is she doing these stupid romantic comedies?’ But of course, it’s for money and status.”
“The best way to mend a broken heart is time and girlfriends.”
“It’s a waste of time for people to say things they think other people want to hear, or try and come off in a certain way. I try to be as honest as I can.”

“When I pass a flowering zucchini plant in a garden, my heart skips a beat.”
“You know, I use organic products, but I get [laser treatment]. It’s what makes life interesting, finding the balance between cigarettes and tofu.”
“We’re human beings and the sun is the sun—how can it be bad for you? I don’t think anything that’s natural can be bad for you.”
“Some days I feel like everyone in my world has plugged themselves into my kidneys. I’m so tired.”
“I would be scared to go under the knife, but you know, talk to me when I’m 50. I’ll try anything. Except I won’t do Botox again, because I looked crazy. I looked like Joan Rivers!”
(Photo credit: Jason Merritt/Getty Images North America)
“Taking care of yourself is being there for your kids, like how on a plane, they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first.”
“I know people that I respect and admire and look up to who have had extra-marital affairs.”
“I try to avoid barbecue potato chips. They’re my weakness.”
“The simpler things are, the happier they are.”
“I say what I think, and I stand behind what I say.”

Manchester (PRWEB UK) 3 June 2013
Bank to the Future co-founder, Simon Dixon, has said the crowdfunding model will ‘change the world’ in an exclusive new interview with Find the Edge founder, Kenny Goodman.
The wide-ranging interview covers a variety of topics, including the wider economy, the benefits associated with investing in companies, and how Simon came to form Bank to the Future.
The website allows businesses to pitch to investors, and receive finance from multiple sources. In doing so, the businesses can bypass the traditional methods of approaching banks or angel investors.
Discussing crowdfunding, he said: ‘I really believe that this is going to be a mainstream product that’s going to change the world.
‘You’re about to see an amazingly large untapped industry emerge, which will be the whole sector of assisting people in crowd funding, and assisting people in marketing to make their idea appeal to the crowd.
‘You know a very large sector is about to emerge when other people start building businesses around your business, and that’s started happening with Bank to the Future.’
He also discussed why he believes entrepreneurs should not be put off from acting in the current economic situation.
He said: ‘Don’t get caught up in the negativity of the economy – all we’re in is a shifting economy.
‘In the case of the UK over the last eight years, the money supply has literally doubled, so there’s more money out there than there has been. It’s just simply not making its way to the right places.
‘We’re in a shifting time. People want to see what’s happening with their money, there’s record levels of scepticism with traditional finance and banking and there’s double the amount of money in the economy.’
The interview can be watched, listened to, or downloaded here: http://www.findtheedge.co.uk/interviews/interview-with-crowd-funding-champion-simon-dixon-part-1.
Simon Dixon co-founded Bank to the Future to give businesses more control when seeking external finance. The company has been endorsed by Sir Richard Branson, and won the British Innovation of the Year award. More about him can be found here: http://www.findtheedge.co.uk/expert-panelist/simon-dixon.
Kenny Goodman, founder of Find the Edge, said: “It was great to catch up with Simon and learn about how he got Bank to the Future up and running, as well as to pick his brains about the current economic situation we’re facing.
“This is the first part of a two-part interview, with the second due to go live tomorrow.”
Find the Edge is a business website that offers news, insight and advice designed to help business leaders.
