English Proverbs, Easy to Remember...
"BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER."
"Beauty," the dictionary tells us, "is a combination of qualities, as shape, proportion, colour, in human face or form, or in other objects, that delights the sight." The last four words are important.
Beauty does not exist by itself; it is an abstract concept; it exists only in the consciousness of those who see it. If anything delights the sight of one person, then it is beautiful to him; if the same thing does not delight the sight of another person, then it is not beautiful to him.
"ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD."
Do not judge a thing by its attractive appearance. As another proverb reminds us, "Appearances are Deceptive."
"Why did you believe him when he said he wasn't married?" asked Mary.
"Because," replied Pam, "he was so good-looking and well-dressed, and had such a nice voice that I believed everything he said."
"All that glitters is not gold," Mary reminded her.
