beauty is important, but "_________" is crucial.
|
|
In Brazil there is an expression.. We usually say that: beauty is important, but "content" is crucial.
Content for me in english doesn �t make sense. I want to mean that the person is nice, has a good conversation, is intelligent ...
Can someone help with the word for this? |

"your deep inside" ? "your true personality" ? "your true mind" ? Can �t your sentence be the same as : "What you can see is important but what you cannot is more" ? |

Beauty is only skin deep. It �s what �s on the inside that counts. |

ha ha manonski  ! Like it. The real saying is �beauty is in the eye of the beholder.� I think the phrase Apodo gives embodies the meaning - Beauty is only skin deep.....� and everyone knows it.

What about "inner beauty"? There is an idiom "inner man" that means 1. a man �s mind, soul, or nature 2. Jocular the stomach or appetite |

I like Apodo �s answer best, since "what �s inside" means "content". These are actually two separate sayings that work well together (like chocolate and peanut butter).
