"Georgian women and the whole country is extremely beautiful. One does need a greater amount of reserve than somewhere else in the world, not to succumb to temptation" - Don Giuseppe Giudice from Milan
"It can be said, that Georgians belong to the best breed of nations in the East, maybe in the whole world. I have never met any single person of an ungainly appearance, whether a man or a woman; the faces I saw looked rather angelic. Most of the women are endowed with perfect charm, one can hardly meet anywhere else. I don't think it is possible to have a glimpse of them and not fall in love immediately. It is hardly possible to draw a female face or a body better than that of a Georgian woman; they are tall, slender, with amazingly lithe and graceful waist. The Georgians are polite and humane, and at the same time, very reliable and reserved" - XVII century French author, Jean Chardin
"These people appear to be the best in the whole world, men are tall, able-bodied, good-looking and strong. As for women, they have been widely acclaimed in Asia as the most beautiful since ancient times." - XVIII century French traveller
"There does exist a nation at some place in the world, famed for the good looks of its people and for that reason, beauty is not considered a merit. This is what all travellers say about Georgians: The azure-blue sky provokes the generation and development of fine and slender people, whose image fully corresponds to their inbred ethics and morale. This opinion is fully supported by Georgia - the country of fine-looking people, and thanks to that sky, brilliant and cloudless, is that fertility" - German archaeologist, Johan Winkelman (1717-1768)
"The Georgians belong to the most beautiful nations in the world. Everywhere, at any place, there can be seen tall men and slender women with noble faces, attractive features and large beautiful eyes. There are greater chances of meeting that type of eyes there than among any other nations of the region, with the exception of Circassians, Armenians and Greeks. Yet, the search of the beauty of the highest rank, when the eyes reflect the perfection of one's heart, mind and spirit, seems useless and to no avail. To come across that epitome of beauty is possible only among the nations of high cultural level. Unlike the enterprising, quick and sly Armenians, The Georgians are born with an inbred quality of mental laziness; their life-style is that of carelessness and light-heartedness; they hardly give any consideration to worldly goods, which means, they are not inclined to accumulate material things and property. But, on the other hand, Georgians are considered to be among the bravest and the most honest nations in the world; like all other Caucasian nations, they are also hospitable and reliable, as reliable, as their sabers are, and as swift and flexible, as their stallions, courageous in warfare and kind and soft-hearted at their homes" - Friedrich Bodenstadt (1819-1892)
"A quality of wide-scope thinking, sometimes even a moment of genius vision is characteristic to that people. Not only beauty seems eternal in that country, but also kindness, bravery, honesty, shining with noble hospitality from the heart of Georgians." - Baron De Baille
"The type of the Georgians, inhabiting the Rioni valley in western Georgia, is the finest-looking in the world." -French ethnographer of the XIX century, Ch. Gaubineaut
"The beauty of our breed was added to the reasons and causes of our weakness, since the dark-skinned Muslim Asians had always been greatly attracted to our people. Georgians were used as the means to perfect their heirs with the streak of our breed; Persia and Turkey of the XVII century were full of our sons and daughters, taken from their homeland. There was not a single family of some Pasha or Beck, without a couple of Georgian boys in their service. It hardly needs reminding that the harems of Shah in-shahs and Sultans had always been favouring Georgian girls and maidens." - Zakharia Chichinadze
"I have seen Persians of Georgian origin in Isfahan, and heard them speaking Georgian. A mere glimpse of them is enough to be convinced of their difference from the Persians. Persians and their offspring have a darker skin and a darker complexion, apart from that, they are comparatively small in height, while the Georgian descendants look lighter in face and their general appearance is more attractive. And there is also a legend here, popularly known and acclaimed by old people, and even mentioned in a Persian book, that the main reason the Persian Shahs insisted on taking the Georgians to their country, was to improve the general looks of their own breed and people." - Raphiel Nebieridze, the Pater of Georgian Catholics, living in Persia
"What made this nation famous, is their good looks, they are finely built. That particular issue constituted the decisive point in bringing to Persia and Turkey the slaves of both sexes, youths and maidens equally; and to this particular circumstance owes the modern Persian population its attractive appearance; as for establishing some idea about their ancient and earlier looks and type, an ungainly image of ape-like fire-worshippers (giaours)" - XVII century French author, Labrosse
"Every traveller from Europe, who has ever visited Circassia or Georgia, them acknowledge the charm and beauty of Circassian or Georgian maidens. Turks, Arabs and Persians definitely share that opinion, because they have always been consciously aiming at perfecting their nation with Georgian blood, and the race of Persians has succeeded in that." - Immanuel Kant
"As far as I am concerned, dealing with tea is inseparable from a colonial type of labour, and I am definitely against the extinction of such a fine race, that the Georgians represent" - Russian Emperor, Nikolai II, when discussing the problem of introducing the cultivation of tea in Georgia
Wow, Georgian wine works miracles!

"There is also in the East another Christian people, who are very warlike and valiant in battle, being strong in body and powerful in the countless numbers of their warriors. They are much dreaded by the Saracens and have often by their invasions done great damage to the Persians, Medes and Assyrians on whose borders they dwell, being entirely surrounded by infidel nations. These men are called Georgians, because they especially revere and worship St. George, whom they make their patron and standard-bearer in their fight with the infidels, and they honor him above all other saints. Whenever they come on pilgrimage to the Lord's Sepulchre, they march into the Holy City with banners displayed, without paying tribute to anyone, for the Saracens dare in no wise molest them. They wear their hair and beards about a cubit long and have hats on their heads."
Jacques de Vitry, Patriarch of Jerusalem
