When you meet a man, you judge him by his clothes; when you leave, you judge him by his heart. I read this quote and was astonished at how true it really was. What do you fellow mylotters think about it?

Here in Spain, where I am living right now, I learned the following expression (which I think means roughly the same you mentioned): "A person doesn't realize (appreciate) what he/she really has got until he/she looses it". For example, if your partner/boy or girlfriend/husband or wife leaves you, then you start missing him or her.

No dear it means quite different. Your saying means knowing the worth of a person whereas my saying means judging a person by his/her appearence

Avani26, that's true you are right but for me my dressing depends on my mood, i might be looking for high sign but get a low one so you never know what to expect concerning dressing for an occasion.

I think some people just look at the outside appearance of a person when we first meet them and end up knowing he/she has bad attitude in the end. Leaving us no other choice but to leave the person XD.

That is what the phrase meant we usually just judge people by their appearence but the person maybe quite different inside. Have a nice day and keep smiling

Yes That's true. When i meet someone dressed in a suit i judge him as someone who's rich but when he's gone i judge him by his heart.

hi avani, In my view about the quote you have shared, that often we judge a person fast based from what we see, but when the person leave, we are able to realized about on the person based on what we feel by heart. Do often, we make initial judgments brought about by what impression we see,, without even thinking the whole totality of the person, that is why when he leaves, we have already an understanding of what kind of person he is and our judgment may even be fairly based not anymore on what we first saw like physical appearance, but what we have seen truly in his heart. Often, when we meet a person, we do not know his totality and we can only determine him based on what he brings or offer and that refer to "clothes" meaning his wearings,his physical build up, his thoughts and views by interactions, our assuming over all characteristics based on what we seen and observed. But, after that interaction with him, able to know him well and how he thinks and interact with a person, then, the true color of the person has been revealed not with the clothes or extravagant things he wear, but on his personality..then you can even judge him by his heart. This is true, for often we judge a person by to what only be seen visible to the eyes..but, there are things in life that the eyes cannot see.. It is only the heart that can feel.. For there are people who are blind, but can presumably judge a person by his heart... happy mylotting!!

Very good quote! Never heard this one before. Thanks for sharing! I think it's very true...once you get to know a person-you find out things you didn't know about them...what's under the surface.

Yes it is true we often tend to judge the person by his appearance but the person may turn out to be quite different from what we expected.
