Wise Words on Wednesday: Real Depth

You are as much a real person as you are deep. As with the depths of a diamond, the interior is twice as important as the surface. There are people who are all facade, like a house left unfinished when the funds run out. They have the entrance of a palace but the inner rooms of a cottage.

– The Art of Wordly Wisdom, Balthasar Gracian, 17th Century
