— Marcus Tullius Cicero

Simplified Meaning:
When you want to suggest someone for a job or a role, it's very important to know them well first. If you recommend someone who behaves badly or does something wrong later, it can make you look bad too. Think about when a friend asks if they should hire someone you know. If you say yes without really knowing the person's habits and they end up being unreliable or dishonest, it might hurt your friend's business and damage your own reputation. This advice helps remind you to take your recommendations seriously and understand the person's character, so you don’t face any negative consequences. By really knowing who you are vouching for, you protect yourself from any potential embarrassment or problems.
