Summary

This quote suggests that a person's character can be understood or determined by observing their actions, appearance, words, and behavior. It implies that each of these aspects contributes to revealing who a person truly is. By closely examining how someone carries themselves, communicates, and behaves, we can decode their character just as one reads letters to form words. It emphasizes the idea that character is not solely based on appearance or words alone, but rather the combination of various elements that collectively define a person's true nature.
