the cowl does not make the monk



the cowl does not make the monk

One's appearance or behavior in public does not indicate one's true character. A "cowl" is the hooded robe worn by a monk. My aunt goes to church every week, but she is actually a miserable, malicious person. I guess it's true that the cowl does not make the monk.
