All is not gold that glitters.
--DAVID GARRICK (1717–1779)

Do not judge men by mere appearances; for the light laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy.
--EDWIN HUBBELL (1814–1880)

Don’t judge a tree by its bark.
--FRENCH PROVERB

The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face.
--WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY (1811–1863)

KEY VERSE
1 Samuel 16:7 -NLT
But the Lord said to Samuel, "Don't judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn't make decisions the way you do! People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at a person's thoughts and intentions."
