“Great Beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.” - Benjamin Franklin

Example: If you are a beautiful person, but have a very ugly personality, then people will look past your beauty and see you as hideous.

Example #2: If you are the strongest person on earth, but have a weak bad heart, then strength will not matter.

Reflection: This quote  means beauty, strength and wealth are not as important as your personality. If you are beautiful but have a wicked heart no one will like you. If you're ugly or beautiful but have a kind heart you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. It only matters what's in our hearts and our desires to do. If we desire good in our hearts, then good will come to us. If we desire bad in our hearts, then bad will come to us. We should always have the pleasure to CTR inside of our minds and hearts. Happy hearts that do good will always bring us happiness. If we have a genuine heart to to good for ourselves and other people then that is a right heart.
