It means that you can't tell everything about a thing/person from the outside. That it may look a certain way on the outside but be totally different on the inside.

I haven't heard of that phrase, although one extremely similar to it is "Don't judge a book by it's cover."
That means you shouldn't judge people or things by what it looks like (or a book by what the cover depicts). Instead, you must look into the person, thing, or book, to get a true sense of what it is.

Your question is wrong, the question should be "Don't judge a book by its cover." It means looks may be deceiving, such as a boring book having a very cool looking cover, but it's not cool.

You cannot know the quality of a book or a person by the appearance.You have to read the book or get to know the person before you can decide if you like them or not. It is a warning against snap decisions made with little or no information.

Get to know someone before you make an assumption of how the person will react to certain situations and so forth. People can be very judgemental and for a friendship or relationship to work, you have to know the person before you can judge what type of person he/she is.
Hope is helps.

It means you shouldn't judge a person or an object etc.. by it's exterior, but it's interior.. things don't always seem like they look,
she may look sweet and pretty, but could be a real evil person..
don't judge things on face value alone...
looks can be decieving...

That the essence of something can be different from what shows so don't judge something before you've known what's hidden.
Applies to people too.

appearances are deceptive...means the same thing...
not to go with the looks..but be more practical in life and see the inner side to know things in the better perspective
