One had to live a long time to know a man's true nature.

About This Quote

The only way to really know a person is by spending a lot of time in their company. You can know a person, but you can't fully understand them until you spend time with them. The more you get to know someone the more you start to see their true character, and in turn they will see your true character as well.
