A Chinese Aphorism

Here's a saying my parents are fond of quoting:

路遥知马力，日久见人心

lu₄ yao₂ zhi₁ ma₃ li₄
ri₄ jiu₃ jien₃ ren₂ xing₁

Literal translation:
road long (spatial sense) [to know] horse force
day long (temporal sense) [to meet] person heart

Meaning:
By a long road shall a horse's full strength be known;
By the test of time shall a person's true heart be revealed.
