“Men should be what they seem.”

Simplified Meaning:
People should act in a way that matches how they appear or present themselves. This means that if someone shows themselves as honest, they should tell the truth and be trustworthy. For instance, if a person constantly says they are generous, they should actually help others and share what they have. This quote advises us to be true to our own words and claims. If you say you are a kind person, make sure your actions reflect kindness. It's about being consistent and genuine, not pretending to be something you're not. If we all do this, it builds trust and respect among people.
