Johann Kaspar Lavater
True worth is as inevitably discovered by the facial expression, as its opposite is sure to be clearly represented there. The human face is nature's tablet, the truth is certainly written thereon.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
Man is forever the same the same under every form, in all situations and relations that admit of free and unrestrained exertion. The same regard which you have for yourself, you have for others, for nature, for the invisible ... which you call God.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
He who, in questions of right, virtue, or duty, sets himself above all ridicule, is truly great, and shall laugh in the end with truer mirth than ever he was laughed at.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
As a man's salutations, so is the total of his character in nothing do we lay ourselves so open as in our manner of meeting and salutation.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
She whom smiles and tears make equally lovely may command all hearts.
