Meaning
This reads as a moral argument dressed in the language of appearance. It suggests that inner discipline, modesty, and calm give a person a kind of beauty that surface decoration cannot supply. In practice, it lands as advice to someone tempted to rely on display alone, reminding them that composure and character change how a face is read.
