Beauty

Clement, a Greek philosopher, united the traditions of Greek philosophy with Christian doctrine. Origen was his pupil in Alexandria and went on to become a renowned theologian.

It is not your outward appearance that you should beautify,

but your soul, adorning it with good works. Although the body,

to be precise, should be made beautiful, though in a measured

way.

Clement of Alexandria (c. 150–c. 215)
