| Keep reading more than enough beautiful sentenses and try to imitate a beautiful sentense of the more than enough beautiful sentenses. |

Hi,
Before you can write a beautiful sentence, you need to have a beautiful thought.

Alan is absolutely right and I'd like to add that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, a statement which holds true when it comes to describing sentences too. Also, it often is not enough to just write one single beautiful sentence.

A beautiful sentence should be like musical phrasing. There should be a lightness and simplicity but with "richness." Simplicity is great but often not appropriate. A beginning middle and end with an arc based on context and other relative details.
More important than anything though, consider it for speech or for text and realize that they are different in how they convey beauty. Sometimes it doesnt matter, but sometimes a beautiful sentence on paper is not so beautiful aloud and vice-versa, but this is not guaranteed and doesnt always apply.
