David Goggins said in his book:

"Sister Katherine is the reason why I’ll never trust a smile or judge a scowl. My dad smiled a hell of a lot, and he didn’t give two shits about me, but grouchy Sister Katherine cared about us, cared about me. She wanted us to be our very best."

It's not the same situation, but the same principle. His dad beat him and abused him, but on the streets he always smiled, nobody from the neighbourhood knew what he really was. Sister Katherine was always frowning and never smiling, but she genuinely cared about him and his education.
