Definition
路遥知马力，日久见人心
Literally means:
as distance tests a horse's strength, time reveals a person's heart

It figura tivelymeans that time can prove the nature of a person. 路遥知马力 and 日久见人心 can both be used independently, each indicating that only through long-term association and contact can we know whether a person is good or not.
