Beauty

Consider this quote from Castiglione's The Courtier:
"Outer Beauty is the true sign of inner goodness."
Explain what this quote means to you. How do you know this? Do you agree/disagree with this quote?

Back during the Renaissance, life was all about looking good and trying to make your self attractive on the outside. They would try to bring out their personalities through their clothing and behavior. But i think only in the last while, 80 years or so people have began to disagree with this quote. While someone can be attractive but could be less intelligent than that of an unattractive person. Just because you look nice doesn't mean you are nice. I strongly disagree with this quote because people can be unattractive but the nicest person you have ever met.
