It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness.

What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness.

There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth

What a strange illusion it is to suppose that beauty is goodness! A beautiful woman utters absurdities: we listen, and we hear not the absurdities but wise thoughts

There is no greatness where there is not simplicity, goodness, and truth.

If goodness has causes, it is not goodness; if it has effects, a reward, it is not goodness either. So goodness is outside the chain of cause and effect.
