Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

A man's face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man's thoughts and aspirations.

A man's face as a rule says more, and more interesting thing

Summary

This quote suggests that a person's face tells us much more about them than their words ever will. The intricate details and expressions evident on one's face are believed to be a summary of what their mouth will convey in a lifetime. It implies that our facial features, expressions, and emotions are indicative of our thoughts, desires, and ambitions, serving as a symbolic representation of our inner self. By paying attention to someone's face, we can gain glimpses into their true nature and comprehend their unspoken words.
