“It is foolish to wish for beauty Sensible people never either desire it for themselves or care about it in others”
— Anne Bronte

Simplified Meaning:
Wanting to be beautiful or wishing others were beautiful is not wise. Smart people don’t focus on looks because they know it’s not what really matters. For example, a good friend isn’t someone who looks great, but someone who supports you and makes you laugh. Putting too much value on beauty can lead to shallow relationships and disappointment because looks fade over time. Instead, it's better to focus on qualities like kindness, honesty, and intelligence. If you want to improve your life, spend time developing your skills and character rather than worrying about appearance.
