Charm strikes the sight, but merit wins the soul.

Summary

This quote highlights the contrast between outer charm and inner merit. It suggests that while charm may initially attract the attention or admiration of others, it is the true worth, merits, or qualities of a person that ultimately leave a lasting impact. Outer appearances can be deceiving or temporary, but the genuine substance of a person's character, talents, or achievements is what truly resonates and captures the essence of their being. It implies that while charm may make a good first impression, it is the inner merit that truly leaves a lasting impression on others.
