I try not to «judge the book by its cover» when I meet new people
I absolutely agree with the statement that you shouldn't judge people by their appearance. Of course, nowadays it is really important to look good and make a good impression. Sometimes your appearance can bring you some benefits: you can get a better job, other people look at you more often, you get more compliments. But still I think, that what's inside you is much more important than how you look.
You can meet a girl who has a beautiful face, and think, that she has a great personality as well. But later you realize, that she is arrogant, selfish and rude because of her good looks. You can meet an inconspicuous guy, who's wearing glasses and old-fashion clothes, and think, that he is boring and has nothing to say, because he is so quiet at first sight. But then you realize, that he is just shy, but also really smart and kind, and you will get on like a house on fire.
I'm not saying that it is always like this and that a good person can't be beautiful. But I want to say, that we shouldn't forget, that sometimes a «cover» could be just a «cover» and has nothing in common with the «book» itself.

What you wrote is very good. A note about « » : these marks are called guillemets and are used in French and a number of other languages. In English, we prefer to use these quotation marks " ".
Have a good day!
