About this Quote

This quote by John Ruskin speaks to the suggestion that physical elegance is not the only action of an individual's worth. He recommends that an individual that is genteel, kind, and also simple will certainly never be taken into consideration "offensively simple" regardless of their physical look. He suggests that true ugliness is not physical, yet instead a lack of manners or an absence of heart. This quote motivates us to look beyond physical appeal and also to value the inner appeal of a person. It reminds us that generosity, humility, and good manners are more vital than physical elegance. It likewise recommends that those who do not have these high qualities are the ones who are really ugly. This quote motivates us to focus on the top qualities that make an individual truly beautiful, as opposed to their physical appearance.
