Famous Sayings

Why is Beauty Often So Deceitful?

Isn’t beauty a good thing, a gift from God?  Therefore how can beauty be deceitful or ever become bad?

To these questions, I refer you to this famous quote:

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

Quoted by:

-Saint Augustine (circa 354-430)

A quick comment about this famous saying:

Sometimes when you would think something is perfect, you may find that there is still something wrong. In fact, something very evil can be found hidden within something very beautiful.  This is unfortunate but true, and a hard lesson in life.

What to do with this famous saying

Be careful never to fall for beauty, and never to just judge a book by its cover.  Outside appearances, such as beauty, can be deceitful.  Don’t be foolish.  Find out more before you commit to someone whose beauty is deceptive…do your homework.  If you find tell-tale signs that something is wrong, stay away!
