Summary

This quote suggests that true beauty and nobility cannot exist when driven by rivalry or pride. When actions are fueled by a desire to outdo others or prove oneself superior, the result is unlikely to be genuinely beautiful or noble.

The quote highlights the importance of intention and mindset in achieving true beauty and nobility in our actions.
