Summary

This quote highlights the potential downside of relying too much on physical beauty. It suggests that when someone possesses physical beauty, they may become dependent on it and neglect the development of their moral character. Physical beauty can appear captivating and alluring, but it should not overshadow the importance of cultivating strong moral values and ethical principles. Possessing physical beauty alone does not guarantee strength of character, and thus, it is essential to prioritize the growth of one's moral faculty alongside any physical attributes.
