Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold

Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold

Summary

This quote implies that beauty has the power to tempt and attract individuals more easily than material wealth such as gold. It suggests that people are more prone to engaging in unethical or immoral actions in order to possess or acquire something beautiful. This can be seen as a warning against underestimating the allure of aesthetic appeal, and a reminder that appearances can have a profound impact on human behavior and the choices individuals make.
