Re. s lica vody ne pit'

[marina le grand]

There is: you might have to put up with whatever looks, it shouldn't bother
even if it's ugly(s lica vody ne pit'!), there must be something more
important to pay attention to.
M.LeGrand


Sophia Lubensky's Russian-English Dictionary of Idioms gives "s litsa ne
vodu pit'" [sic] as "beauty is only skin-deep; handsome is as handsome
does;
... looks aren't everything."
