True beauty is measured by the number of pearls within you, not those around your neck.

About This Quote

This is a quote meant to encourage people to focus on being smart and hardworking, not just beautiful. People who are beautiful tend to have a large number of friends, but those friends are not necessarily smarter or more talented than those who do not have as many friends. In fact, those with the most friends have less self-control.
