Traditional Chinese Wise Sayings: Painting a tiger’s fur is easy

画龙画虎难画骨,知人知面不知心。  

Painting a tiger’s fur is easy

While painting its bones is hard,

Knowing a person’s face is easy

While knowing his ideas is hard.

(胡晓阳 译)

When you picture a tiger it is easier for you to picture its hide than it bones. When you see a person it is easier for you to know their faces than their hearts and minds.

(郭著章 译)
