Quote by Saint Augustine

Beauty is indeed a good gift of God but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked.

Beauty is indeed a good gift of God but that the good may no

Summary

This quote suggests that beauty is a gift from God, but it should not be considered as the ultimate measure of goodness. It implies that beauty is not exclusively reserved for those who are morally upright, as even the wicked can possess it. Therefore, the quote highlights the idea that beauty alone does not determine a person's true worth or moral character, and it serves as a reminder to not prioritize external beauty over inner goodness.

Again, I am surprised why people seek to eliminate lust and cling to love; as they wish to ignore happiness and cleave unto joy! Now, now, let's not sugar-coat things! Lust has a lot more to do with life and what is the good of life if you do not carry much lust inside of you at all times? And joy is a noble thing, but happiness though fleeting can be found every day and in every small little way!
