"All the beauty of the world, 'tis but skin deep"

The quote "All the appeal of the world,'t is however skin deep" by Ralph Venning suggests that the external look, or "skin," of something might be attractive or pleasing, but it does not show the true nature or worth of that thing. Venning suggests that true charm lies below the surface area, beyond what can be seen with the naked eye. This quote can be used to numerous elements of life, from relationships to product possessions, and advises us that we must not be deceived by mere looks. Rather, we must seek out the fundamental worth and substance crazes prior to making any judgments or choices based upon their external appearance.
