Can try this site:

路遥知马力,日久见人心
just as distance determines the stamina of a horse, so does time reveal a person's true heart (proverb)
知人知面不知心
one may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature (idiom)

路遙知馬力。- Drive sports car long enough you will know how to control gas power.
日久见人心。- Know your girlfriend very very long, you finally can see her inside.
知人知面不知心。- Your ministers all smile smile, but you dunno what evil plots they are thinking.
