The windows to the soul, this collection of eyes quotes will intrigue you to look past what you see.

Eyes are the windows to the1 soul. They don’t lie. They show the truth, no matter what face you put on. Just like body language, our eyes say more than we ever could with words.

The eyes can tell you a lot about another person’s emotional state. When you meet someone for the first time, the best way to get to know them is to look them in the eyes and observe what feelings they convey.

You can tell whether someone is sad or happy just by looking them in the eyes. The eyes can also reveal whether a smile is genuine or fake, whether or not someone trusts you, whether they feel secure, and much more.

Eyes are windows to the soul because they are the most honest part of the face. For example, we can control our mouths but we don’t have any control over our eyes.

When you’re truly happy, your eyes become bigger and brighter involuntarily and give you away, but they look smaller when you’re sad and worried.

Eyes play an integral part in our lives. They not only allow us to see the beauty of our world, but they are the beginning of doing more. We should all celebrate them.

Below is our collection of inspirational, wise, and thought-provoking eyes quotes, eyes sayings, and eyes proverbs, collected from a variety of sources over the years. Enjoy!
