“It is natural for the heart and spirit to take pleasure and enjoyment in all things that show forth symmetry, harmony, and perfection. For instance: a beautiful house, a well designed garden, a symmetrical line, a graceful motion, a well written book, pleasing garments. All things that have in themselves grace or beauty are pleasing to the heart and spirit.” – ‘Abdu’l-Baha
