Dont Judge D Buk by Its Covrr
Don't judge a book by its cover means not to judge people or things by what they look like from the outside. People shouldn't be judged by how they look but be judged by their actions. It actually means that people cannot be judged by what they appear like to you at first, it is necessary to get to know them and "read" them before you can judge them It means not to judge people by the way they look or act. Something very powerful can be inside them.

it means dont judge a person on how they look and only judge them on who they really are!

If you judge a book by it's cover is to judge someone or something before you get to know them or try it. Such as if someone looks funny and you don't know them you shouldn't make fun of them because they could turn out to be the nicest person you ever met. Also if someone advertises for a product and you don't think it will work you shouldn't because it might work really good and it will be fun and/or good for you to have. On the other hand something could look good and be really bad. So if someone is really pretty that doesn't mean 'Oh, that person is really pretty they must be nice!' They could be really stuck up and mean. Or if something looks shiny and new and people on TV. say it works really good it could be bad.
The meaning of the saying 'never judge a book by its cover' is that we can't simply judge people only by their appearances.
But, this is not always true. For instance, if an employer wants to recruit an employee and hundreds of people apply, the employer will probably narrow the list down based on first impressions. In other words, the employer is judging them by their 'cover' to save time.
But when it comes to choosing friends, we have to choose carefully. Some people might be bad for us. If we choose them wrongly, the consequences are very serious - the wrong kinds of friends can create all kinds of trouble for us.
I think, rather than judging a book by its cover, we need to read the content of the book

    These four football players do have the courage to do the right thing. These players do the right thing because someone in their lives is helping them. The grocery store security caught video of these four young men getting into Buddy’s (A grocery store). The store manager was thinking they broke in but that changed her point of view. The players all grabbed what they needed and set the money on the counter, then left. Those four men went to another store and told them that Buddy’s was unlocked. Then the store called the police on them. These young men never got arrested for it and they all got an reward. In the end of this passage, it's saying you can’t judge a book by its cover. Also these four football players shared out, who encouraged them to do the right thing. It states, “ These four young men had that someone when it mattered most.” I think these four football players learned that doing the right thing, helps them do great things in…

    In some cases, judging a book by its cover is important when going to a formal event and first impression are everything in this present era if not, since the dawn of human existence. We often convey our messages or express our personality through through some form of materialism or through artistic creation. You can tell a lot about someone by the way they show their colors (metaphorically) or style of outfit, or accessories, and the thing they embraced. It’s understanding that we always want to look our best for some of us the things we value the most is how we fit ourselves into social norms and expectations through some degree or form of conformity and we use alternative ways of conveying our message sometimes as elaborate as owning a mansion…

    Kids everywhere are being taught to live by the quote, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” This quote is what most people should strive to live by, but what does it mean to not judge a book by its cover? The quote seems pretty self explanatory, but then why do so many people seem to neglect it? From the beginning of time, people have persecuted, humiliated, fought, harassed, bullied and maliciously tormented people based on their covers. Just because one is black or white, short or tall, Jewish or atheist, or just plain different people think they can cast hateful stares or exchange filthy words despite the philosophy they were taught at such a young age. This quote applies to every person no matter how different their cover may be.…

    “Don 't Judge a book by it 's cover” is a very commonly used quote, as well as honest and true. This quote is never stated in Shrek but it is strongly applied in a few situations throughout the movie. When Lord Farquaad is choosing which princess to rescue, he chooses Princess Fiona because his guards told him to. Also, all the village people assume Shrek was a mean human eating ogre, when in fact, he was just highly guarded and enjoyed scaring the humans. Shrek was very…

    According to Wikipedia, “The English idiom [don’t judge a book by its cover] is a metaphorical phrase which means you shouldn’t prejudge the worth of someone or something, by its outward appearance alone” (Don’t judge a book by its cover 1). Just like an old ragged book that one turns the pages to reveal the knowledge or characters within, the same goes for people. It is what is within the person that counts. In “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” Clopin, a gypsy, introduces the story as, “It’s a tale, a tale of a man and a monster” (Scripps). Prejudgment of a person can lead to false identity as seen in the characters of Quasimodo and Frollo. Although Quasi appears as a deformed monster, he is really a caring man.…
