Summary

This quote means that appearances can be deceiving. It suggests that one should not judge a person solely based on their outward appearance or physical attributes. True beauty or worthiness goes beyond superficial qualities and lies within an individual's character, actions, and abilities. Developing qualities such as kindness, intelligence, and integrity is just as important, if not more, than external attractiveness.
