Although I think it sounds good, I don't think everything that is beautiful is good, although I think that which is good begins to have a greater beauty to some. Looks can be deceiving. The qualities of beauty and even good are difficult to define. Although some people may think that living on an island "retreat" is alluring and peaceful, living with people in a monastic relationship, as Sappho did, is no easy task. For some people it can lead to arrested development and unrealistic views. Of course, there is good and bad, etc., etc. in everyone, and their poetry. Enough said.

Partly: I agree that "who is good will soon be beautiful", cause the real beauty comes from the inside, but about "what is beautiful is good", for me, it's not always necessarily like that, 'cause looks can be very deceiving; not everything or everyone who looks beautiful is good... there's no connection, one thing doesn't imply the other.
