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.
