look for beauty

"We always see what we are looking for, and if our mind has become

trained to look for trouble and difficulty and all dark and 

dreary things, we find just what we seek.

 "On the other hand, it is quite easy to form the habit of looking always for beauty,

for good, for happiness, for gladness, and here, too, we

shall find precisely what we seek." (J.R. Miller, born in 1840)

"What we see depends mainly on what we look for."
So said John Lubbock, a British statesman in the 1800s.
