"Handsome is as handsome does" nghĩa là gì?

"Handsome is as handsome does" -> nghĩa là "tốt gỗ hơn tốt nước sơn", "đẹp nết hơn đẹp người", tính nết và cách cư xử quan trọng hơn vẻ ngoài; nên xét người bằng việc làm đừng xét qua lời nói.

Ví dụ
He may be homely (xấu trai), but he's the kindest man I've ever met—handsome is as handsome does.

But in the spirit of the adage (châm ngôn) “handsome is as handsome does,” some handgunners fell under the XP-100’s spell when they realized how accurately it shot and from how far they were able to hit small game, varmints (con cáo), and steel silhouette (rọi bóng) targets.

Stardom (ngôi sao điện ảnh) has become a weekly phenomenon (hiện tượng) now. Today’s stars lack the quality which keeps you in one’s heart forever. I cannot forget Dilip Kumar Saab even today. I cannot forget Raj (Kapoor) Saab. They are eternal (vĩnh cửu). They will be remembered till eternity (muôn đời). That era was a different era. Those personalities, those performances are rare to find today. During that era, an actor was required to have a pleasant (vui vẻ) personality. Today, anyone can become an actor if he or she acts well. Handsome is as handsome does. It has been proved now.
