Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.
We do not see people as they are, but as they appear to us. And these appearances are usually misleading.
Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by the sense of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion.
People have more dimensions to them than we give them credit for. The person you meet on the street that you think is someone, and it's someone else. I'm mistaken for someone else all the time.

You think you know someone. But mostly you just know what you want to know.
When you're famous, you don't get to meet people because they want you to like them when the present themselves to you, and you don't see the real people.
So may the outward shows be least themselves; The world is still deceived with ornament.
Appearances are deceptive.
Appearances often are deceiving.
I think everybody who sees me would think that I'm really scary or something. But I'm not!
The world is governed more by appearance than realities so that it is fully as necessary to seem to know something as to know it.
Truth does less good in the world than its appearances do harm.
I'm perceived to be this solitary character, but nothing could be further from the truth.
