"A Book cannot be judged by its cover".
Answers
The literal meaning of the statement is that the cover of a book is not an indication of how good or bad the contents of the book are. The implied meaning is that one cannot know the true value or worth of something or someone simply by looking at the outer appearance. What may appear very appealing to the eye may be worthless; similarly, what may look drab may be valuable.
A good example is the personality of Swami Vivekananda. He always dressed in a simple attire, without sporting expensive jewels or exquisite fabric. Yet, this simple man made a mark on the world when he addressed the audience in America in English, way back in 1893. Not only that, his ideas showcased that a great mind can comfortably lead a simple life.
Yet another example, is that of Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. He was a quiet sort of man who built the nation with his knowledge and experience. A casual look at him did not give away any hints about the greatness of the scientist's knowledge or crucial contribution towards the country's defense systems. He was a gem for the nation.
Applying the same logic to objects, this idiom is supported by another saying, "All that glitters is not gold." What looks like an expensive watch may well be a fake version of the original. Similarly, a beautiful house may have sub-standard construction, or a fancy looking gadget may have very little utility. On the contrary, a tiny gate may lead to a beautiful garden.
Thus, one needs to look deeper to reach a conclusion, because the outward appearances may be misleading. That is why it is often said, "Do not judge a book by its cover."
