Today I will credit you with this quote, because it takes a wise person to understand that all people and things are beautiful. It just takes a very wise person to know the truth and to recognize true beauty.

It comes from an old persian saying. It is still used today when a person is complimented like "you look beautiful" and a reply would be "Thank you, your eyes are(see) beautiful" basically implying that beauty is the the eye of the one who sees it.

It's a very old proverb, so I'm not sure it can be directly credited. I would highly suggest reading this short information site on it:)
