"Nous savons tous que la lumière voyage plus vite que le son. C'est pourquoi certaines personnes semblent intelligentes jusqu'à ce que vous les entendiez parler."

Albert Einstein

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes people might seem smart or impressive at first, just like light that you see instantly. However, once they start talking, you realize they might not be as knowledgeable as you thought, similar to sound that reaches you later. For example, imagine meeting someone at a party who looks confident and well-dressed. At first, you might think they are very intelligent. But when they start talking, you notice they don't really know much about the things they are discussing. This teaches us not to judge people just by how they look or first impressions. It's better to take the time to listen and get to know someone before making a decision about them.
