    I don't think we say that at all.
    Nor do English-speakers, for that matter. It's a variation of the much more sensible idiom: Handsome is as handsome does.
    (Which we don't say in German, either, though.)

    You could translate it as: "Dumm ist nur, wer dummes tut", I guess

    I grew up with "pretty is as pretty does"
