Answer 1

Don't judge a book by its cover
By line- NAME

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 and base our judgments on what we see there.

Answer 2

The English idiom "don't judge a book by its cover" is a metaphorical phrase which means "you shouldn't prejudge the worth or value of something by its outward appearance alone". For example "That man may look very small and insignificant, but don't judge a book by its cover – he's a very powerful man in his circle".One should not form an opinion on someone or something based purely on what is seen on the surface, because after taking a deeper look, the person or thing may be very different than what was expected. Outward appearance cannot be an indicator of someone or something’s value or worth. You cannot know what someone or something is like just by looking the person or thing’s appearance.The quality or character of someone or something cannot be judged just by looking at them. An opinion of someone or something cannot be formed solely by seeing what’s on the surface
