I have heard this somewhere --
"Never go on one's clothes."
Surprisingly, I haven't got even a single hit on Google
Does it exist and if not, does it make sense? _________________ First lesson - English, not english. I, not i. ~A student of English |

Which of these are critical in their tone?
1) Appearances are deceptive. 2) Do not judge a book by its cover. 3) Clothes do not make a man. 4) All that glistens/glitters is not gold. _________________ First lesson - English, not english. I, not i. ~A student of English |

None are critical, but are offered to a naive person in a manner akin to,
" Watch your step " " Don't be conned ". _________________ If you need me, I'm here. |

And how did we get to Let the buyer beware (caveat emptor) from "A person who has a pretty face and wears beautiful clothes may not have same kind of heart inside." I wonder? _________________ con·text - The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning. |
