Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 28

Not everyone who is handsome in form possesses a good character; the qualities are inside not upon the skin. It is possible in one day to know from a man’s qualities What degree of science he has reached. Be however not sure of his mind nor deceived. A wicked spirit is not detected sometimes for years. THE GULISTAN OF SA'DI Translated by Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890)
