Hey, guys, I need some help. I'm translating a book and came across a phrase "Handsome is - that handsome does". Don't know how to translate this into russian properly. I would be also great if you could explain the meaning of this phrase in english to me.

Re:Translation
It basically means that you are only as beautiful/handsome if you behave and act in a decent/kind/and pleasing manner as well. Handsome is as handsome does. Beautiful inside and out.
