And a man is valued by what others say of him.
Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

Proverbs 27:19
As in water face answereth to face - All men' s hearts are pretty nearly alike; water is not more like to water, than one heart is to another. Or, as a man sees his face perfectly reflected by the water, when looking into it; so the wise and penetrating man sees generally what is in the heart of another by considering the general tenor of his words and actions.
"Surely, if each man saw another' s heart
There would be no commerce;
All would disperse,
And live apart."
Hebert.
