Goodness makes people beautiful

"Beautiful people are not always good, but good people are always beautiful." - Imam Ali (a.s)
................................................. Real beauty shines from the inside out; Without goodness, beauty harbors doubt. A kind heart helps real beauty to show, For goodness makes its light truly glow. Beauty alone makes none truly pretty, Goodness, with kindness and some pity, Blends wisdom with strength on a human face— A blessing bestowed by special grace. When beautiful people are also good, Then their beauty is without falsehood. It becomes a divine and earthly joy— Too pure a feeling to ever cloy.
