English Proverbs – FINE FEATHERS MAKE FINE BIRDS

Proverb Expansion

FINE FEATHERS MAKE FINE BIRDS

We usually call a bird beautiful if its features are attractive. Some birds have highly coloured and attractive features. Parrots are beautiful with their greenish body and red beaks. Blue lark looks extremely beau­tiful with its blue feathers. Similarly, a person may be more impressive if he wears fine clothes. He may not be clever or impressive actually. But his clothes and appearance deceive us. At first sight, he creates an impression on us and this impression influences in our dealings with him also. If a person who has enough merit dresses himself smartly, he will be able to impress others much more easily than otherwise. This impression will last. Remember, smart appearance makes the best im­pression.
